Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether
Concept introduction:
The process of conversion of particles of a substance from a liquid state to gaseous state below the boiling point of the substance is known as evaporation. At a temperature lower than the boiling point of a liquid, the particles are in equilibrium with liquid state and gaseous state. The particles in the gas state exert vapor pressure.

- Chloroform, CHCl3, has a normal boiling point of 61C. Its vapor pressure at 43C is 0.526 atm. What is the concentration (in g/L) of CHCl3 when it saturates the air at 27C?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_forwardDefine critical temperature and critical pressure. In terms of the kinetic molecular theory, why is it impossible for a substance to exist as a liquid above its critical temperature?arrow_forward
- Define the following and give an example of each: (a) dispersion force (b) dipole-dipole attraction (c) hydrogen bondarrow_forwardA 1.50-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) is placed in an evacuated 1.00-L container at 30 C. (a) Calculate the pressure in the container if all of the methanol is vaporized. (Assume the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.) (b) The vapor pressure of methanol at 30 C is 158 torr. What mass of methanol actually evaporates? Is liquid in equilibrium with vapor in the vessel?arrow_forwardIntermolecular forces: What type of forces must be overcome between I2 molecules when solid I2 dissolves in methanol, CH3OH? What type of forces must be disrupted between CH3OH molecules when I2 dissolves? What type of forces exist between I2 and CH3OH molecules in solution?arrow_forward
