What is the temperature in °F and the pressure in Pa at the triple point of (a) water and (b) carbon dioxide?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)TF=32.02°F,ρ=608Pa.

(b)TF=-68.8°F,ρ=5.06×105Pa.

Step by step solution

01

Description 

Figure 18.6 depicts a water diagram and triple point of water is 0.01°Cas well as the pressure is =0.006atm.

Includign that, Figure 18.6 depicts the diagram of carbon dioxide and triple point of carbon dioxide is =56°Cand pressure is=5atm.

Result of finding the pressure and temperature 

The equation (18.6) depicts the form of

TF=95Tc+32° (1)

The value of TC=0.01°is going to be used into equation (1) in order to get TF

TF=95Tc+32°=95(0.01°)+32°=32.02°F

The next formula for calculating the pressure for Pa is:
p=(0.006atm)(1.01325×105Pa1atm)=608Pa

The value of Tc=-56°is going to be used into equation (1) in order to get TF

TF=95Tc+32°=95(-56°)+32°=-68.8°F

The next formula for calculating the pressure for Pa is:
p=(5atm)(1.01325×105Pa1atm)=5.06×105Pa
