Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The vapor pressure of ethanol using Figure-5.14 at
Concept Introduction:
Vapor pressure is a partial pressure exerted by vapor of a substance during equilibrium stage of liquid. Equilibrium is a condition in which two different or opposite processes occurs at similar rate. The rate of vaporization and rate of liquefaction of liquid are same at equilibrium.
The boiling point of liquid is a temperature at which the vapor pressure of liquid is equal to 760 mm Hg.

- 5-106 The normal boiling point of hexane, C6H14, is 69°C, and that of pentane, C5H12, is 36°C. Predict which of these compounds has a higher vapor pressure at 20°C.arrow_forward5-86 Using the phase diagram of water (Figure 5-20), describe the process by which you can sublime 1 g of ice at-10°C and at 1 atm pressure to water vapor at the same temperature.arrow_forward5-89 (Chemical Connections 5C) In a sphygmomanometer one listens to the first tapping sound as the constrictive pressure of the arm cuff is slowly released. What is the significance of this tapping sound?arrow_forward

Calculate the energy required to vaporize 39.2 g of this compound. The molecular weight of Freon-12 is 120.9 amu.arrow_forward
- 5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forward6-31 If a bottle of beer is allowed to stand for several hours after being opened, it becomes "flat" (it loses CO2). Explain.arrow_forwardUse your text or other reference to find the partial pressure of water at 25°C, 26°C, and 27°C and record those values.arrow_forward
