Question

1. Describe the intermolecular forces that must be overcome to convert each of the
following from a liquid to a gas:


a) Br2 


b) CH3OH 


c) H2S

 

2. A mixture consists of 78,1 g benzene (C6H6) and 92,1 g toluene (C7H8). Both substances
are volatile, and their vapour pressures (in the pure form) are as follows at 20°C:


Benzene: 0.0988 atm
Toluene: 0.0287 atm


a) Which substance, benzene or toluene, would have the lowest boiling point in the
pure form? Give a reason or your answer. 


b) Calculate the vapour pressure of the benzene-toluene mixture at 20°C.
