Interpretation:
Among the given statements, the correct one for not a factor in determining the magnitude of the vapor pressure of a liquid has to be chosen.
Concept Introduction:
Evaporation is a process in which the molecules escapes from the liquid phase to the gas phase. According to Kinetic molecular theory an evaporation can be explained as, not all the molecules present in a liquid or solid or gas possess the same the same kinetic energy and at any instant, some of the molecules may have above average kinetic energies and other may have below average kinetic energies as a result of collision between molecules. The molecules overcome attractive forces with other molecules.
Vapor pressure is a pressure which is exerted by a vapor above a liquid when the liquid and vapor are in physical equilibrium with one to each other. The magnitude of vapor pressure depends on the nature and temperature of the liquid.

- answer is 151 kPa- don't know how to get to the answerarrow_forwardProblem 11: A high-pressure gas cylinder contains 50.0 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.6 × 107 Pa and a temperature of 25.0°C. Its valve leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (-78.5°C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. Part (a) What is the final pressure, in pascals, in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change? Part (b) What is the final pressure, in pascals, if one-tenth of the gas escapes during this process? Part (c) To what temperature, in kelvins, must the tank be cooled from its initial state to reduce the pressure to 1.00 atm (assuming the gas does not change phase and that there is no leakage during cooling)?arrow_forwardPractice Problems 1. A gas has a volume of 350 ml at 30 C. If the volume changes to 400 ml, what is the new temperature? 2. Submarines need to be extremely strong to withstand the extremely high pressure of water pushing down on them. An experimental research submarine with a volume of 1,510 liters has an internal pressure of 1.20atm. If the pressure of the ocean breaks the submarine forming a bubble with a pressure of 253atm pushing on it, how big will that bubble be? 3. A sample of nitrogen inside a rigid, metal container at 20.0ºC is placed inside an oven whose temperature is 50.0 ̊ C. The pressure inside the container at 20.0ºC started at 3.00 atm?arrow_forward
