Chapter 6, Problem 6.2P
A quantity of methyl acetate is placed in an open, transparent, three-liter flask and boiled long enough to purge all air from the vapor space. The flask is then sealed and allowed to equilibrate at 30°C, at which temperature methyl acetate has a vapor pressure of 269 mm Hg. Visual inspection shows 10 mL of liquid methyl acetate present.
(a) What is the pressure in the flask at equilibrium? Explain your reasoning.
(b) What is the total mass (grams) of methyl acetate in the flask? What fraction is in the vapor phase at equilibrium?
(c) The above answers would be different if the species in the vessel were ethyl acetate because methyl acetate and ethyl acetate have different vapor pressures. Give a rationale for that difference.

An aluminum saucepan has a handle that is fixed to its wall. The handle itself is made of low
carbon steel, and will have a plastic grip attached to it that is comfortable to grasp. Before selecting a
plastic, it is necessary to have information on the temperature of the carbon steel handle. The carbon steel
handle can be considered as a rod 11 mm in diameter and 45 mm long. When being used over a stove
burner, the ambient temperature T∞ is 30 oC, and the temperature at the base of the handle reaches T0 =
100 oC. The convective heat transfer coefficient h is 8 W/m2·K and k = 43 W/m·K for low carbon steel.
Can you derive the differential equation for the temperature of handle with x as a spatial variable and determine the temperature of handle at the position of 40 mm from the base. Using the general solution attached.
