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.

- 5-111 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?
