Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For the given situations, it is to be determined that whether both liquid and gas are present (L/G), only gas is present (G), or situation is impossible (I).
In flask I, the pressure is 256 mm of Hg.
Concept introduction:
The vapor pressure of a liquid is pressure exerted by its vapor which are present just above its surface.
(b)
Interpretation:
For the given situation, if both liquid and gas are present (L/G), only gas is present (G), and situation is impossible (I) needs to be determined.
In flask II, the pressure is 135 mm of Hg.
Concept introduction:
The vapor pressure of a liquid is pressure exerted by its vapor which are present just above its surface.
(c)
Interpretation:
For the given situation, if both liquid and gas are present (L/G), only gas is present (G), and situation is impossible (I) needs to be determined.
In flask III, the pressure is 165 mm of Hg at 30°C, if temperature is decreased to20°C, the pressure becomes 159 mm Hg.

- Trichloroethane, C2H3Cl3, is the active ingredient in aerosols that claim to stain-proof men's ties. Trichloroethane has a vapor pressure of 100.0 mm Hg at 20.0C and boils at 74.1C. An uncovered cup (12pint) of trichloroethane (d=1.325g/mL) is kept in an 18-ft3 refrigerator at 39F. What percentage (by mass) of the trichloroethane is left as a liquid when equilibrium is established?arrow_forwardThe density of liquid NH3 is 0.64 g/mL; the density of gaseous NH3 at STP is 0.0007 g/mL. Explain the difference between the densities of these two phases.arrow_forwardThe vapor pressure of 1-chlorotetradecane at several temperatures are tabulated below.

- Nitrogen content of an organic compound can be determined by the Dumas Method. The compound is passed over hot copper (II) oxide and reacts as follows: Compound N 2 + CO 2 + H 20The product gases are passed through a solution of potassium hydroxide to remove CO2. The remaining gas is N2 saturated with H20 vapour. In a given experiment 0.225g of the unknown compound produces 27.8mL of N2 saturated with H2O vapor at 25oC and 730Torr. What mass is the % of nitrogen in the compound?
