Use Le Châtelier's principle to explain why lowering the temperature lowers the vapor pressure of a solid. Select all that apply. O Lowering the temperature shifts the equilibrium in a way that increases the average kinetic energy of the molecules. O Lowering the temperature shifts the equilibrium in a way that decreases the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Relative to the rate of deposition, the rate of sublimation will drop. The new equilibrium has a lower vapor pressure because the rate of sublimation has decreased. None of these.

A common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables, which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties, since one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?
An amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.
Use the phase diagram for sulfur for Question 75. The solid forms of sulfur are rhombic and monoclinic. (a) A triple point is defined as a temperature and pressure where three phases are in equilibrium. How many triple points does sulfur have? Indicate the approximate temperature and pressure at each. (b) Which physical states are present at equilibrium under these conditions? (i) 102 atm and 80 C (ii) 101 atm and 140 C (iii) 103 atm and 110 C (iv) 104 atm and 160 C Phase diagram for sulfur, for Question 75.
Why do liquids have a vapor pressure? Do all liquids have vapor pressures? Explain. Do solids exhibit vapor pressure? Explain. How does vapor pressure change with changing temperature? Explain.
What term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?
