- Explain why 15 g of steam at 100C melts more ice than 15 g of liquid water at 100C.arrow_forward8.51 Suppose that three unknown pure substances are liquids at room temperature. You determine that the boiling point of substance A is 53°C, that of substance B is 117°C, and that of substance C is 77°C. Based on this information, rank the three substances in order of their vapor pressures at room temperature.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_forward
- The enthalpy of vaporization of water is larger than its enthalpy of fusion. Explain why.arrow_forwardSuppose that three unknown pure substances are liquids at room temperature. You make vapor pressure measurements and find that substance Q has a pressure of torr, substance R has a pressure of 42 torr, and substance S has a pressure of 330 torr. If you slowly increase the temperature, which substance will boil first and which will boil last?arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
