Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The amount of heat released during condensation of given steam should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
During the phase change, heat is absorbed or released and can be calculated by below mentioned formula,
In above formula, q is the amount of heat released or absorbed, m is mass of substance (in grams), C is specific heat capacity and
(b)

- 5-86 Using the phase diagram of water (Figure 5-20), describe the process by which you can sublime 1 g of ice at-10°C and at 1 atm pressure to water vapor at the same temperature.arrow_forwardWhy does sweating cool the human body?arrow_forwardHow many grams of water at 0C will be melted by the condensation of 1 g of steam at 100C?arrow_forward
- he enthalpy (H)of vaporization of water is about seven times larger than water’s enthalpy fusion(41kJ/molvs.6kJ/mol). What does this tell us about the relative similarities among the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of water?arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forwardWhich would you expect to have the higher fusion enthalpy, N2 or I2? Explain your choice.arrow_forward
- The cooling effect of alcohol on the skin is due to its evaporation. Calculate the heat of vaporization of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), C2H5OH. C2H5OH(l)C2H5OH(g);H=? The standard enthalpy of formation of C2H5OH(l) is 277.7 kJ/mol and that of C2H5OH(g) is 235.1 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardIn each of the following groups of substances, pick the one that has the given property. Justify your answer. a. highest boiling point: HBr, Kr, or Cl2 b. highest freezing point: H2O, NaCl, or HF c. lowest vapor pressure at 25C: Cl2, Br2, or I2 d. lowest freezing point: N2, CO, or CO2 e. lowest boiling point: CH4, CH3CH3, or CH3CH2CH3 f. highest boiling point: HF, HCl, or HBr g.arrow_forwardA tank of gas at 21C has a pressure of 1.0 atm. Using the data in the table, answer the following questions. Explain your answers. a If the tank contains carbon tetrafluoride, CF4, is the liquid state also present? b If the tank contains butane, C4H20, is the liquid state also present?arrow_forward
