Chapter 6, Problem 6.72E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method used to cook a potato on top of Mount Everest is to be stated and the reason for choosing the method is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The pressure exerted by the vapors when in equilibrium with the liquid is known as vapor pressure of the liquid. It increases as the temperature increases. The boiling of a liquid starts when its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895.  Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities.  Their experimentally determined densities are:        Oxygen                1.42952 g/L Nitrogen              1.25718 g/L Air                          1.29327 g/L 1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas.   He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure.  What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?
Explain why a glass of soda at 30 degrees Celsius will go flat faster than a glass of soda at 5 degrees Celsius.
Part 1. A glass bottle, which is half-filled with water, has a balloon attached to its opening. The bottle is placed in a hot water bath for some time. Explain the change to the size of the balloon based on the kinetic molecular theory.Part 2. What would most likely happen to the balloon if the bottle was then placed into a jar of cold water with ice cubes? Explain your answer based on the kinetic molecular theory.In both cases, assume the balloon is attached tightly enough so that air does not escape the system.
