(a)
Interpretation:
The approximate temperature at which the steam distillation occurs should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Boiling occurs when the total vapor pressure of two immiscible liquids equals to atmospheric pressure (1 atm). So by steam distillation, organic compounds which are insoluble in water can be extracted in low temperature without decomposition.
(b)
Interpretation:
Why the proportions of the two liquids condensed from the vapor is independent of the composition of the boiling mixture, as long as both liquids are present in the boiling mixture should be explained.
Concept introduction:
A liquid boils when vapor pressure of the liquid equals to external pressure. Vapor pressure of a liquid at a certain temperature depends on its enthalpy of vaporization, when the enthalpy of vaporization is low; vapor pressure of the liquid at a certain temperature is high, because it needs less energy to escape into vapor phase.
(c)
Interpretation:
Which of the two liquids, water or Cinnamaldehyde, condenses in the greater quantity by mass should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Boiling point depends on intermolecular forces. Higher the intermolecular forces, higher the boiling point. Hence, a liquid with higher boiling point will have a lower vapor pressure at certain temperature compared to a liquid with lower boiling point. However liquid starts to boil when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals to external pressure.

- In the laboratory, hydrogen chloride (HCl(g)) and ammonia (NH3(g)) often escape from bottles of their solutions and react to form the ammonium chloride (NH4Cl(s)), the white glaze often seen on glassware. Assuming that the number of moles of each gas that escapes into the room is the same, what is the maximum partial pressure of HCl and NH3 in the laboratory at room temperature? (Hint: The partial pressures will be equal and are at their maximum value when at equilibrium.)arrow_forwardAs O2(l) is cooled at 1 atm, it freezes at 54.5 K to form solid I. At a lower temperature, solid I rearranges to solid II, which has a different crystal structure. Thermal measurements show that H for the I II phase transition is 743.1 J/mol, and S for the same transition is 17.0 J/K mol. At what temperature are solids 1 and II in equilibrium?arrow_forwardHeat is released when some solutions form; heat is absorbed when other solutions form.
