Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:Boiling point should be defined.
Concept introduction:Properties that can be observed without alteration in composition of matter are physical properties. Examples of physical properties are texture, appearance, boiling point and solubility.
b)
Interpretation:Normal boiling point should be defined.
Concept introduction:Properties that can be observed without alteration in composition of matter are physical properties. Examples of physical properties are texture, appearance, boiling point and solubility.
c)
Interpretation:Dalton’s law of partial pressures should be defined.
Concept introduction:Equilibrium vapor pressure is defined as pressure of vapor that exists in equilibrium with its solid or liquid state. In other words, it is equilibrium pressure of vapor over its solid or liquid state. It depends on temperature of system. With increase in temperature, kinetic energy of molecules also increases and vice-versa.
d)
Interpretation:Equilibrium vapor pressure should be defined.
Concept introduction:Properties that can be observed without alteration in composition of matter are physical properties. Examples of physical properties are texture, appearance, boiling point, vapor pressure and solubility.

- Suppose you have a sample of 2-methylhexane and a sample of 2-methylheptane. Which sample would you expect to have the higher melting point? Boiling point?arrow_forwardThe molar heat of vaporization of substance X is 34kJ/mol; of substance Y, 27kJ/mol. Which substance would be expected to have the higher normal boiling point? The higher vapor pressure at 25C?arrow_forwardA special vessel (see Fig. 10.45) contains ice and supercooled water (both at 10C) connected by vapor space. Describe what happens to the amounts of ice and water as time passes.arrow_forward
- The phase diagram for elemental sulfur is shown in Figure 6.18. Figure 6.18 Phase diagram for elemental sulfur. a How many allotropes are shown? b What is the stable allotrope of sulfur under normal conditions of temperature and pressure? c Describe the changes to sulfur as its temperature is increased from 25C while at 1atm pressure.arrow_forwardUsing the explanation of unbalanced forces as the source of surface tension, justify why it requires energy to increase the surface area of a liquid. Is there any circumstance in which energy is given off when increasing a liquids surface area?arrow_forwardAn amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.arrow_forward
- Consider the following data for xenon: Triple point: 121C, 280 torr Normal melting point: 112C Normal boiling point: 107C Which is more dense, Xe(s) or Xe(l)? How do the melting point and boiling point of xenon depend on pressure?arrow_forwardWhich type of substance causes greater vapor pressure lowering? A. a covalent compound B. a group of nonmetals C. a metallic compound D. an ionic compoundarrow_forwardMolecules in this type of crystal are held by dipole-dipole, dispersion and hydrogen bonding they are soft and have low melting point. A. molecular crystals B. covalent crystals C. metallic crystals D. ionic crystalsarrow_forward
- This illustration is the phase diagram of a substance that exists in three phases. Solid Liquid A. Gas Temperature If the pressure of the substance is reduced significantly from the conditions of Point A, while keeping the temperature constant, what change will occur? A. The substance will sublime. B. The substance will boil. O C. The substance will melt. D. The substance will freeze. Pressurearrow_forwardWhat property of water explain why water the tiny cracks in rocks help the latter break when it freezes? a. Water has a high boiling point b. Water has high surface tension c. Water has a greater volume in its solid state d. Water has high heat of vaporizationarrow_forwardWhat is the dominant force holding the units together in solid carbon dioxide a.Dipolar b. Electrostatic attraction of ions c. Covalent bonding d. Londonarrow_forward
