Chapter 10: Q33E (page 587)

Identify two common observations indicating some liquids have sufficient vapor pressures to noticeably evaporate.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Two common observations indicating some liquids have sufficient vapour pressures to noticeably evaporate aredecreased in amount as well as by smelling the capper of some liquids.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of evaporation

Evaporation is a natural process that occurs when a liquid transforms into a gaseous state, generating a pressure or temperature increase.

02

Identify the two common observations

By observing the amount of liquid in an open container decrease as well as by smelling the capper of some liquids

Hence, we can say that such liquids have sufficient vapour pressure to evaporate.

How much heat is required to convert \({\rm{422 g}}\) of liquid \({{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O}}\) at \({\rm{2}}{{\rm{3}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\) into steam at \({\rm{15}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\)?

Elemental carbon has one gas phase, one liquid phase, and two different solid phases, as shown in the phase diagram

  1. On the phase diagram, label the gas and liquid regions.
  2. Graphite is the most stable phase of carbon at normal conditions. On the phase diagram, label the graphite phase.
  3. If graphite at normal conditions is heated to 2500 K while the pressure is increased to 1010 Pa, it is converted into diamond. Label the diamond phase.
  4. Circle each triple point on the phase diagram.
  5. In what phase does carbon exist at 5000 K and 108 Pa?
  6. If the temperature of a sample of carbon increases from 3000 K to 5000 K at a constant pressure of 106 Pa, which phase transition occurs, if any?

Consider a cylinder containing a mixture of liquid carbon dioxide in equilibrium with gaseous carbon dioxide at an initial pressure of \({\rm{65}}\) atm and a temperature of \({\rm{2}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\). Sketch a plot depicting the change in the cylinder pressure with time as gaseous carbon dioxide is released at constant temperature.
