UV Visible Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy refers to the absorption or emission of light or other radiations by matter. When a substance or chemical absorbs light or radiation, they reach an excited state followed by de-excitation or emission of the light or radiation forming distinc…

Chapter 7.11, Problem 5QQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the given statements, the correct one about volatile substance has to be chosen.

Concept Introduction:

A volatile substance is a substance which is readily evaporates at ambient temperature because of its high vapor pressure.

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.

Problem 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)?
