Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the evaporation of droplets can either minimized or not by increasing the external pressure, like by pressuring region II of a system with an inert gas is to be stated with an explanation.

Concept introduction:

Laplace-Young equation is a fundamental equation for the behavior of an interface. This equation relates the pressure difference on either side of an interface with the surface tension and the area of the liquid changes with volume. The Laplace-Young equation is shown below.

(pIpII)=γ(AVI)

(3) A flask contains a sample of mercury. The system is stored at room temperature of 25.00 °C. At what temperature (in both K and °C) would the system have to change to in order to triple the vapor pressure of mercury in the flask?
At which temperature is the vapor pressure of ethanol equal to 80. kPa?
The vapor pressure of water at 25 C is 23.76 Torr. Estimate the vapor pressure of water at the same temperature in the presence of 2.5 atm of an inert ideal gas that is insoluble in water (e.g., helium). The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol, and the density is 0.998 g/cm3.
