Interpretation: The change happens when a can having
Concept Introduction:
Vapor pressure is nothing but the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form.
When a liquid and vapor are in equilibrium the pressure exerted by the vapor is called the equilibrium vapor pressure.
(b)
A molecular level sketch of the situation inside the can before heating and after heating has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Vapor pressure is nothing but the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form.
When a liquid and vapor are in equilibrium the pressure exerted by the vapor is called the equilibrium vapor pressure.
If intermolecular force is small the vapor pressure of the substance is high and the boiling point will be low.

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forwardMagnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has a solubility of 38.9 g/ 100 g H2O at 30C. A solution is prepared by adding 9.50 g of MgSO4 to 25.0 g of water at 40C. A homogeneous mixture is obtained. Is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? One gram of magnesium sulfate is added to the solution cooled to 30C. Would you expect some of the MgSO4 to precipitate? If so, how much? If not, how much more MgSO4 can be added before precipitation takes place?arrow_forwardA representation of liquid water is shown below. Which of the three representations that follow best describes the water after it has boiled into steam?arrow_forward
