Interpretation: The change happens when a can having
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.
(b)
A molecular level sketch of the situation inside the can before heating and after heating has to be drawn.
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.

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forwardWrite a chemical equation representing the decomposition of water into two gaseous products. What are the products?arrow_forwardIf 14.5 kJ of heat were added to 485 g of liquid water, how much would its temperature increase?arrow_forward
- Are changes in state physical or chemical changes? Explain. What type of forces must be overcome to melt or vaporize a substance (are these forces intramolecular or intermolecular)? Define the molar heat of fusion and molar heat of vaporization. Why is the molar heat of vaporization of water so much larger than its molar heat of fusion? Why does the boiling point of a liquid vary with altitude?arrow_forwardWhat mass of solid NaOH (97.0% NaOH by mass) is required to prepare 1.00 L of a 10.0% solution of NaOH by mass? The density of the 10.0% solution is 1.109 g/mL.arrow_forwardWe heated a small amount of water, to a boil, in an aluminum can. We then set it in a cold ice water bath and saw the can collapse. Write a couple sentences explaining in detail why this happened. Your description should use microscopic models to describe the macroscopic observation. (Hint: do not use any of the following words: Charles Avogadro's , Gay Lussac or Boyle's. I don't care about the names of laws.)arrow_forward
- A recent snowstorm had the potential to create icy road conditions, which led to the closure of several roads in the area. One way ice on the road could be reduced is to apply a layer of NaCl. The expected rainfall for the area was approximately 6.0 inches, which would have created about 1.75 liters of standing water per square foot. How much NaCl, in grams, per square foot would have to be used to prevent ice formation if the temperature was only supposed to reach -2.5 C°? The kf of water is 1.86 1/C*mc and the density is 1 g/mL.arrow_forward38. A public water supply was found to contain 1 part per billion (ppb) by mass chloroform, CHCl3. How many CHCl3 molecules would be present in 12 fl oz of this water?arrow_forward1. Place a few crystals of bismuth trichloride in a test tube and add 3 ml of water. Observations: What change takes place? Write the equation for the reaction. Test the solution with litmus paper. What is the result? What causes this change? Add to the solution concentrated hydrochloric acid (CAUTION: CONCENTRATED HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS CORROSIVE AND CAN BURN THE SKIN!) a drop at a time with constant shaking until a change is observed. Observations: Give the effect of the following on the direction of the reversible reaction: a) adding more water: b) adding more HCl:arrow_forward
- A student took 2-3 g of a substance X in a glass beaker & poured water over it slowly. He observed bubbles along with hissing noise. The beaker becomes quite hot. Identify X. What type of reaction is it?arrow_forwardSuppose you had a sample of a white crystalline solid that was a mixture of calcium carbonate and calcium chloride. Describe how you could treat the sample to isolate one of the solid in the pure state. Which solid would it be.arrow_forwardA sample of 8.8 g of methanol, CH3OH(l), is added to a 1.00 L flask, whereby the flask is sealed and heated to 75 °C. All the liquid converts to gas after heating for 20 minutes. [melting point of CH3OH = -98 °C, boiling point of CH3OH = 64.7 °C, density of CH3OH(l) = 0.791 g/mL] What is the partial pressure of the heated methanol gas in the flask? What is the density, in g/L, of the gaseous methanol at 75 °C? What is the density, in g/L, of the gaseous methanol at 68 °C? What mass of methanol gas is in the flask at 75 °C?arrow_forward
