Interpretation:
The reason behind the fact that ether will boil when the pump is on has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
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 is known as the phase diagram.
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 vacuum pump is used to remove air or gas particles from the container. The removal of air leads to a decrease in pressure inside the container. The boiling point of a liquid is defined as the temperature at that vapor pressure becomes equal to external pressure.

- The normal boiling point of SO2 is 263.1 K and that of NH3 is 239.7 K. At −40 °C, would you predict that ammonia has a vapor pressure greater than, less than, or equal to that of sulfur dioxide? Explain.arrow_forwardWhy do the boiling points of the noble gases increase in the order HeNeArKrXe?arrow_forwardDescribe the behavior of a liquid and its vapor in a closed vessel as the temperature increases.arrow_forward
- What term is used to describe a substance that readily evaporates at room temperature because of a high vapor pressure?arrow_forwardConsider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.arrow_forwardWhy do liquids have a vapor pressure? Do all liquids have vapor pressures? Explain. Do solids exhibit vapor pressure? Explain. How does vapor pressure change with changing temperature? Explain.arrow_forward
