(a)
Interpretation:
The vapor pressure for water in
Concept introduction:
Vapor pressure is a pressure exerted by gaseous vapor above a liquid in a sealed container, when the rate of evaporation and condensation are equal. The vapor pressure increases with temperature and when temperature decreases vapor pressure also decreases.

The vapor pressure for water in
Concept introduction:
Vapor pressure is a pressure exerted by gaseous vapor above a liquid in a sealed container, when the rate of evaporation and condensation are equal. The vapor pressure increases with temperature and when temperature decreases vapor pressure also decreases.

- 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_forwardWhat term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?arrow_forwardWhy do the boiling points of the noble gases increase in the order HeNeArKrXe?arrow_forward
- Describe the condensation of water vapor inthe atmosphere.arrow_forwardthe vapor pressure of water at 20c is 17.5 mmhg if the pressure of a gas collected over water was measured to be 453.0 mmHg. What is the pressure pf the pure gas?arrow_forwardWater has a high specific heat because (a) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature (b) hydrogen bonds must be formed to raise its temperature (c) it is a poor insulator (d) it has low density considering the size of the molecule (e) it can ionizearrow_forward
- (a) What phase change is represented by the “heat of fusion”of a substance? (b) Is the heat of fusion endothermic or exothermic?(c) If you compare a substance’s heat of fusion toits heat of vaporization, which one is generally larger?arrow_forwardIf heat is added to ice and liquid water in a closed container, and after the addition of heat there is still ice and liquid water remaining. (a)the vapor pressure of water will decrease. (b)the temperature will increase some. (c)the temperature will decrease some. (d)the vapor pressure of water will rise. (e)the vapor pressure of water will remain constantarrow_forwardThe vapor pressure data for Hg with respect to temperature is given in the table below. From the data given in the table, answer the questions that follow. (A). Calculate its enthalpy of vaporization, ∆H vap (in KJ/mole). (B). Calculate its normal boiling point (in Kelvins).arrow_forward
- 10.) Diethyl ether is a volatile, highly flammable organic liquid that is used mainly as a solvent. The vapor pressure of diethyl ether is 401 mmHg at 18 degrees C. Calculate its vapor pressure at 52 degrees C.arrow_forwardAt high altitudes the vapor pressure is than at the sea level. O higher O lower O remains the samearrow_forward(c) Is methane a solid, liquid, or gas at 1 atm and 0 °C? (d) If solid methane at 1 atm is heated while the pressure is held constant, will it melt or sublime? (e) If methane at 1 atm and 0 °C is compressed until a phase change occurs, in which state is the methane when the compression is complete?arrow_forward
