The ambient temperature is 85.0°F and the humidity of the surroundingair is reported to be 64.0%. Using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation andthe boiling point of water as 100.0°C at 760 torr, calculate the vaporpressure (in torr) of water in the air. Use 40.7 kJ/mol as the AHvap ofwater.

Clausius-Clapeyron equation is given below.

Answered: The ambient temperature is 85.0°F and…

ook at Fig. 14.2. Why doesn't temperature increase continuously ever time? That is, why does the temperature stay constanl for periods of time?
A syringe at a temperature of 20 C is filled with liquid ether in such a way that there is no space for any vapor. If the temperature is kept constant and the plunger is withdrawn to create a volume that can be occupied by vapor, what would be the approximate pressure of the vapor produced?
At a resort in Sante Fe, New Mexico, the barometric pressure is 625 mm Hg. Water boils in an open pot at 94.5C. A pressure cooker is set for 1.75 atm. (a) At what temperature will water boil in that pressure cooker? (For water, Hvap=40.7kJ/mol.) (b) What is the difference between the boiling point in the open pot and in the pressure cooker?
The heats of vaporization of liquid O2, liquid Ne, and liquid methanol, CH3OH, are 6.8 kJ/moL 1.8 kJ/mol, and 34.5 kJ/mol, respectively. Are the relative values as you would expect? Explain.
Dichloromethane, CH2Cl2,is widely used as a degreaser and paint stripper. Its vapor pressure is 381.0 mm Hg at 21.9C and 465.8 mm Hg at 26.90C. Estimate (a) its heat of vaporization (Hvap). (b) its normal boiling point.
In an experiment, 20.00 L of dry nitrogen gas, N2, at 20.0C and 750.0 mmHg is slowly bubbled into water in a flask to determine its vapor pressure (see the figure on next page). The liquid water is weighed before and after the experiment, from which the experimenter determines that it loses 353.6 mg in mass. Answer the following questions. a How many moles of nitrogen were bubbled into the water? b The liquid water diminished by how many moles? What happened to the liquid? c How many moles of gas exit the flask during the experiment? What is the partial pressure of nitrogen gas exiting? The total gas pressure is 750.0 mmHg. d From these data, calculate the vapor pressure of water at 20C. Does this agree with what you expect?
What are intermolecular forces? How do they differ from intramolecular forces? What are dipole-dipole forces? How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions? In what ways are they similar? What are London dispersion forces? How do typical London dispersion forces differ from dipole-dipole forces? In what ways are they similar? Describe the relationship between molecular size and strength of London dispersion forces. Place the major types of intermolecular forces in order of increasing strength. Is there some overlap? That is, can the strongest London dispersion forces be greater than some dipole-dipole forces? Give an example of such an instance.
