Interpretation:
The molar heating curve for ethanol is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Phase diagram is a graph that represents the solid phase, liquid phase, and gaseous phase of one substance or mixture of substance under various conditions of temperature and pressure.
Temperature and pressure on a phase diagram at which gas, liquid, and solid phases coexist is called triple point. The maximum temperature and pressure in the phase diagram at which substance lies in liquid phases is called critical point. The temperature and pressure at which liquid or gas is neither a true liquid nor a true gas is called supercritical point.
The process that involves change in physical state of substance and does not affect the chemical state of substance is called phase transition.

- 5-86 Using the phase diagram of water (Figure 5-20), describe the process by which you can sublime 1 g of ice at-10°C and at 1 atm pressure to water vapor at the same temperature.arrow_forwardWhich would you expect to have the higher fusion enthalpy, N2 or I2? Explain your choice.arrow_forwardThe vapor pressure of ethanol, C2H5OH, at 50.0 C is 233 mmHg, and its normal boiling point at 1 atm is 78.3 C. Calculate the vapH of ethanol.arrow_forward
- The enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forward5-106 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_forwardWhy are steam burns so much worse than water burns even if the H2O is at the same temperature for both phases? Hint: Consider the heat of vaporization of water.arrow_forward
- In each of the following groups of substances, pick the one that has the given property. Justify your answer. a. highest boiling point: HBr, Kr, or Cl2 b. highest freezing point: H2O, NaCl, or HF c. lowest vapor pressure at 25C: Cl2, Br2, or I2 d. lowest freezing point: N2, CO, or CO2 e. lowest boiling point: CH4, CH3CH3, or CH3CH2CH3 f. highest boiling point: HF, HCl, or HBr g.arrow_forwardIf you get boiling water at 100 C on your skin, it burns. If you get 100 C steam on your skin, it burns much more severely. Explain why this is so.arrow_forwardWhat are the strongest attractive forces that must be overcome to (a) boil silicon hydride, SiH4? (b) vaporize calcium chloride? (c) dissolve Cl2 in carbon tetrachloride, CCl4? (d) melt iodine?arrow_forward
