Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The boiling point of hexane at
Concept Introduction:
Vapour pressure of a liquid is defined as the pressure of the vapour when liquid and vapour are in dynamic equilibrium. It increases with increase in temperature and a liquid with stronger intermolecular force of attractions has a lower vapour pressure at a given temperature.
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The boiling point of diethyl ether at
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The boiling point of water at
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- Referring to Figure 9.7, state what phase(s) is (are) present at (a) 1 atm, 10C. (b) 3 mm Hg, 20C. (c) 1000 mm Hg, 75C.arrow_forwardThe vapor pressure of ethanol, C2H5OH, at 50.0 C is 233 mmHg, and its normal boiling point at 1 atm is 78.3 C. Calculate the vapH of ethanol.arrow_forwardUse Figure 11.7 to estimate the boiling point of diethyl ether, (C2H5)2O, under an external pressure of 470 mmHg.arrow_forward
- Why do the boiling points of the noble gases increase in the order HeNeArKrXe?arrow_forwardExplain why 15 g of steam at 100C melts more ice than 15 g of liquid water at 100C.arrow_forwardThe normal boiling point of SO2 is 263.1 K and that of NH3 is 239.7 K. At −40 °C, would you predict that ammonia has a vapor pressure greater than, less than, or equal to that of sulfur dioxide? Explain.arrow_forward
- Referring to Figure 9.7, state what phase(s) is/are present at (a) 1 atm, 100C. (b) 0.5 atm, 100C.(c) 0.8 atm. 50C.arrow_forward8.45 Describe how interactions between molecules affect the vapor pressure of a liquid.arrow_forwardFor each of the following pairs, choose the member with the lower boiling point. Explain your reason in each case. (a) NaCl or PCl3 (b) NH3 or AsH3 (c) C3H7OH or C2H5OCH3 (d) HI(g) or HCl(g)arrow_forward
- 8.48 Why must the vapor pressure of a substance be measured only after dynamic equilibrium is established?arrow_forward8.41 What is the specific feature of N, O, and F that causes them to play a role in hydrogen bonding?arrow_forward8.81 Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a liquid at room temperature and pressure, whereas ammonia (NH3) is a gas. How can these observations be rationalized in terms of intermolecular forces?arrow_forward
