Chapter 10, Problem 61E
If a severe storm results in the loss of electricity, it may be necessary to use a clothesline to dry laundry. In many parts of the country in the dead of winter, the clothes will quickly freeze when they are hung on the line. If it does not snow, will they dry anyway? Explain your answer.

- Refer to Figure 11.12 to answer these questions: (a) You heat some water to 60 C in a lightweight plastic bottle and seal the top very tightly so gas cannot enter or leave the carton. What happens when the water cools? (b) If you put a few drops of liquid diethyl ether on your hand, does it evaporate completely or remain a liquid? Figure 11.12 Vapor pressure curves for diethyl ether [(C2H3)2O], ethanol (C2H5OH), and water. Each curve represents conditions of T and P of which the two phases, liquid and vapor, are in equilibrium. These compounds exist as liquids for temperatures and pressures to the left of the curve and as gases under conditions to the right of the curve. (See Appendix G for vapor pressures for water of various temperatures.)arrow_forwardThe amount of heat required to melt 2 lbs of ice is twice the amount of heat required to melt 1 lb of ice. Is this observation a macroscopic or microscopic description of chemical behavior? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardIdentify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid. Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension. Mercury has a lower surface tension than water. Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises. Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.arrow_forward
- Pure benzophenone melts at 48.1 C. Your sample of benzophenone began to freeze at 47 C. When you repeated this measurement, the sample again began to freeze at 47 C. Give at least two reasonable explanations for this observation. You tried to read the thermometer when your solution containing the unknown began to freeze but were not certain if the reading was 43.5 C or 44 C so you decided to repeat this by melting the solidifying mass. The new reading you observed was clearly 41 C. What happened? Clearly explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIn a body of water, the surface tension caused by the attraction between water molecules is strong. Which of the following is a consequence of this property? Water is considered to be a universal solvent. When water freezes, the molecules move farther apart. Only a limited amount of solute can be dissolved in a sample of water. Objects with a higher density than water can be observed floating on water.arrow_forwardPredicting boiling point and freezing pointarrow_forward

The dorm room measures 3.25 m × 4.03 m × 3.04 m and the student places a pan containing 0.580 L of water in the room. Assume that the room is airtight, that there is no water vapor in the air when she closes the door, and that the temperature remains a constant 22 °C. The vapor pressure of water at 22 °C is 19.8 mm Hg. Calculate the pressure that the water vapor would exert if all of the liquid water evaporated. mm Hg Will all of the water in the pan evaporate?arrow_forward
