(a)
Interpretation: The approximate vapor pressure curve of ethanol at
Concept Introduction: Vapor pressure is nothing but the pressure of a vapor in contact with its liquid or solid form.
When a liquid and vapor are in equilibrium the pressure exerted by the vapor is called the equilibrium vapor pressure.
If intermolecular force is small the vapor pressure of the substance is high and the boiling point will be low.
(b)
Interpretation: It has to be identified whether
Concept Introduction:
Intermolecular force: The attractive force that withholds two molecules is called as intermolecular force. The influence of intermolecular forces depends on molar mass and the
Dipole-Dipole Interactions: The attractive force that holds two polar molecules with help of dipole moment present in them is called as Dipole-Dipole Interactions.
The partial positive charge end of one molecule is attracted to the partial negative charge of a neighboring molecule.
Induced Dipole - Induced Dipole Forces: The attractive force that holds two nonpolar molecules with help of temporary dipole moment present in them is called as induced dipole-induced dipole forces.
(c)
Interpretation: The temperature at which heptane have a vapor pressure of
Concept Introduction:
Boiling point: It is the temperature at which liquid converts to vapor. At boiling point the vapor pressure of liquid and the pressure of the surroundings are equal.
Boiling point: It is the temperature at which liquid converts to vapor. At boiling point the vapor pressure of liquid and the pressure of the surroundings are equal.

- Diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3) was one of the first chemicals used as an anesthetic. At 34.6C, diethyl ether has a vapor pressure of 760. torr, and at 17.9C, it has a vapor pressure of 400. torr. What is the H of vaporization for diethyl ether?arrow_forward5-106 The normal boiling point of hexane, C6H14, is 69°C, and that of pentane, C5H12, is 36°C. Predict which of these compounds has a higher vapor pressure at 20°C.arrow_forwardWhat is the enthalpy change when a 1.00-kg block of dry ice, CO2(s), sublimes at 78 C? The enthalpy of sublimation of CO2(s) is 26.9 kJ/mol. Is this process exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forward

(c) are generally soluble in nonpolar solvents?arrow_forwardChloroform, CHCl3, has a normal boiling point of 61C. Its vapor pressure at 43C is 0.526 atm. What is the concentration (in g/L) of CHCl3 when it saturates the air at 27C?arrow_forwardIn the northern United States, summer cottages are usually closed up for the winter. When doing so, the owners winterize the plumbing by putting antifreeze in the toilet tanks, for example. Will adding 525 g of HOCH2CH2OH to 3.00 kg of water ensure that the water will not freeze at 25 C?arrow_forward
