Question
Chapter 22, Problem 22.31E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The capillary depression of a column of mercury in tube with radius
Concept introduction:
Surface tension effect shows itself in systems where a cylindrical solid surface is present. A very narrow cylindrical surface is called a capillary. When a capillary is immersed into a liquid, the surface tension that exists at the liquid-vapor interface will act according to the Laplace-Young equation.

A liquid rises to a height of 1.50 cm in a capillary tube. What is the radius of the tube if the density and surface tension of the liquid are 1.80×10³ kg/m³ and 0.135 N/m respectively?
Two students were discussing about the Linde's process, when one of them suggested that Liquefaction of a gas depends
strongly on two factors. The other student then asked the following questions related to the Liquefaction of gases:
(a) What are those two factors? As the temperature is decreased from 700K, which gas will liquefy first-ammonia, methane, or
carbon dioxide? Give reasons?
(b) Calculate the rms speed of a sample of 2-butene (C4H8) at 20 oC?
(c) A technician connected two balloons together joined by stopcock as shown below. The 3.0 L balloon contains "He" at a
pressure of 4.0 atm and the other one contains 1.0 L NH3 at a pressure 1.0 atm. Calculate the total pressure of the system after
the stopcock is opened. Assume the temperature remains constant.
Assuming atoms of radius of 1.00 Å and atoms just touching one another, calculate the percentage of the volume taken up in a face-centered cubic unit cell by those atoms.
