Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The vapour pressure of methyl ethyl ether at
Concept Introduction:
Vapour pressure:
The pressure of the vapour when liquid and vapour are in dynamic equilibrium is called vapour pressure. It increases with increase in temperature. The molecule experiencing stronger intermolecular force of attraction, has lower vapour pressure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The liquid having strongest intermolecular attractions has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The temperature at which benzene has a vapour pressure of
(d)
Interpretation:
The normal boiling point of the given liquids has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid equals to the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid is known as the boiling point.

- 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_forwardDiethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) was one of the first chemicals used as an anesthetic. At 34.6C, diethyl ether has a vapor pressure of 760. torr, and at 17.9C, it has a vapor pressure of 400. torr. What is the H of vaporization for diethyl ether?arrow_forwardPredict which liquid—glycerol, HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH, or hexane, C6H14—has the greater surface tension. Explain your prediction.arrow_forward
- Chloroform, CHCl3, has a normal boiling point of 61C. Its vapor pressure at 43C is 0.526 atm.
