Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The molar heating curve for sodium is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Phase diagram is a graph that represents the solid phase, liquid phase, and gaseous phase of one substance or mixture of a substance under various conditions of temperature and pressure.
Temperature and pressure on a phase diagram at which gas, liquid, and solid phases coexist is called triple point. The maximum temperature and pressure in the phase diagram at which substance lies in liquid phases is called a critical point. The temperature and pressure at which liquid or gas is neither a true liquid nor a true gas is called a supercritical point. The process that involves a change in the physical state of substance and does not affect the chemical state of a substance is called phase transition.

- The vapor pressure of ethanol, C2H5OH, at 50.0 C is 233 mmHg, and its normal boiling point at 1 atm is 78.3 C. Calculate the vapH of ethanol.arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forwardUse Figure 11.7 to estimate the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, under an external pressure of 250 mmHg.arrow_forward
- Why are steam burns so much worse than water burns even if the H2O is at the same temperature for both phases? Hint: Consider the heat of vaporization of water.arrow_forwardWhich would you expect to have the higher fusion enthalpy, N2 or I2? Explain your choice.arrow_forwardDecide which substance in each of the following pairs has the lower melting point. Explain how you made each choice. a potassium chloride, KCl; or calcium oxide, CaO b carbon tetrachloride, or hexachloroethane, c zinc, Zn; or chromium, Cr d acetic acid, CH3COOH; or ethyl chloride, C2H5Clarrow_forward
- A 0.250-g chunk of sodium metal is cautiously dropped into a mixture of 50.0 g water and 50.0 g ice, both at 0C. The reaction is 2Na(s)+2H2O(l)2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)H=368kJ Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, will the ice melt? Assuming the final mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/gc, calculate the final temperature. The enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6.02 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_forwardUse Figure 11.7 to estimate the boiling point of diethyl ether, (C2H5)2O, under an external pressure of 470 mmHg.arrow_forward
