- What is the enthalpy change when a 1.00-kg block of dry ice, CO2(s), sublimes at 78 C? The enthalpy of sublimation of CO2(s) is 26.9 kJ/mol. Is this process exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forwardPredict which liquid—glycerol, HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH, or hexane, C6H14—has the greater surface tension. Explain your prediction.arrow_forwardWhat mass (g) of ethanol, CH3CH2OH(), can be vaporized at its boiling point of 78.4 C by transfer of 500. kJ to the liquid? The vapH of ethanol is 38.6 kJ/mol at this temperature.arrow_forward
- Which would you expect to have the higher fusion enthalpy, N2 or I2? Explain your choice.arrow_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_forward
