Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given observation should be explained.
Water boils at 87oC on the top of Mount Whitney.
Concept Introduction:
Gay Lussac’s Law gives the relationship between Pressure (P) and Temperature (T)
According to Gay Lussac’s Law, the pressure of gas has direct relationship with temperature in Kelvin of the gas if volume and amount of a gas are constant.
If the temperature or pressure of a gas changes without any change in amount of a gas and volume, then the final pressure and temperature will give the same
Gay Lussac’s Law can be written as:
Where, T1 and P1 are the initial temperature and pressure.
T2 and P2 are the final temperature and pressure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given observation should be explained.
Food cooks more quickly in a pressure cooker than in an open pan.

- Explain why each of these properties is important to sustaining life. Please use your own words and answer all 5 questions 1. Water has a high surface tension. 2. Ice is less dense than water. 3. High heat is required for vaporization of water (a large amount of heat is required to convert liquid water to a gas). 4. Water has a high specific heat capacity (a large amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius). 5. Water has a high dielectric constant (a measure of the polarity of the polar covalent bond).arrow_forward12. Patients with a high body temperature are often given "alcohol baths". The heat of vaporization of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is 159 cal/g. How much heat is removed from the skin by the evaporation of 190 g (about 2 cup) of isopropyl alcohol?

The flask is then heated steadily and the temperature measured as time passes. The results are graphed below, in the middle (in green). Identical experiments are now run on Substance Y and Substance Z. Substance Y is just like S except that it has a higher heat capacity in the solid phase C₂ (s). Substance Z is just like S except that it has a lower enthalpy of vaporization H. Select the graphs below, on the left and right, that show the results you expect for these new experiments.

Under normal atmospheric pressure, nitrogen boils (and condenses) at - 196°C. When 7.7 g of nitrogen gas at -196°C was put into a dewar flask initially at -260°C, their temperatures reach -210°C. If the specific heat capacity and heat of vaporization of nitrogen are 1.04 J/g-°C and 200 J/g, respectively, determine the heat capacity of the dewar flask.arrow_forward
