Hi I have a question. Predict which of the solutions below will exert the highest Vapor pressure
O2 in HOH
NH3 in HOH
and CH3OH in HOH
Homework Equations
I drew them out. So I know that CH3OH HOH exhibits h bonding. So does NH3 HOH
I was wondering about O2...
I am having trouble with the relationship between these two. My book says that negative heat of solution forms stronger bonds and lowers vapor pressure and positive heat of solution forms weaker bonds and raises vapor pressure. Shouldn't vapor pressure be higher for negative heat of solution...
When the Clausius-Clapeyron equation for saturation vapor pressure over liquid water is derived via the Carnot cycle, it is usually assumed that there is only gaseous water above the liquid. The other atmospheric gases are neglected.
However, in common settings (lake, glass of water...), the...
the book says vapor pressure is independent of atmospheric pressure, if that is the case then why must the vapor pressure of a liquid be equal to the atmopheric pressure for it boils. I pictured atmospheric pressure as a column of air sitting above a liquid and therefore pushing down the gas...
Why does the answer say that vapor pressure only depends on temperature and intermolecular forces substance experiences? I thought external pressure did affect vapor pressure because when you heat a pot of boiling water at higher elevation the boiling point decreases, and vapor pressure...
I think I understand, but I want to make sure.
The vapor pressure of a substance is the pressure of the substance evaporating/sublimating at a given temperature and can be calculated using the Antoine Equation. This must be measured at the interface of the substance and atmosphere, or if the...

I'm studying vapor pressure and I'm having trouble to understand some concepts.
Vapor pressure depends only on the temperature of the liquid in question right? For example, if we have a container with water at 30° C, it doesn't matter the experiment, would it ALWAYS be a vapor phase with...
Hi all,

Firstly, let me explain my scenario. I am carrying-out some measurements of steam condensation in a vacuum. The steam is being condensed in a air-cooled heat exchanger.

A gaseous mixture containing 0.190 mol fraction of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and 0.810 mol fraction of dry air is initially at 62.0°C and 1141 mmHg. If this mixture is cooled at a constant pressure, at what temperature does the CCl4 first start to condense? I already did...
From what I have read so far, the vapor pressure of a liquid is temperature dependent while it is independent of the atmospheric pressure. I am not sure why atmospheric pressure would have no effect of the vapor pressure though. For example, if a highly volatile liquid is placed in a sealed...

I'm trying to find the equations or diagrams for two types of Saturation Vapor Pressures:

2) Pa = Saturation vapor pressure at air dew point
My solution:
Relative humidity = (saturation vapour pressure at dew point)/( saturation...
I'm not totally sure this topic should be placed in this forum, since it is not specifically solid state.
Anyways, my question is simply why is there a correlation between vapor pressure and the boiling point of a substance, I would have thought that the boiling point would be at any...
I know that the vapor pressure of a solvent would decrease with a changing concentration if there was an addition of a solute. However, would the vapor pressure change with a changing concentration of the pure solvent (no solute added)?
I am trying to understand the concept of boiling from a very fundamental perspective. Most textbooks say that: as a liquid is heated, it's vapor pressure increases. When the vapor pressure reaches the surrounding pressure(or atmospheric pressure at that point), then boiling occurs.
I agree...

Can someone explain why bubbles only begin to form when the vapor pressure = external pressure? Since vapor pressure is defined as the equilibrium pressure of the gas in a closed vessel, the connection does not seem obvious.
Hi All,
I tried to collected hydrogen gas generated from the reaction between a metal and hydrochloric acid. I put a inverted conical flask in the water, and the generated H2 would push the water out of the flask, and then the H2 was collected. However, I guess there is water vapor mixed...
Air is dissolved in blood and other bodily fluids. As a deep-sea diver descends, the pressure increases and the concentration of dissolved air in the blood increases. If the diver returns to the surface too quickly, gas bubbles out of solution within the body so rapidly that it can cause a...
So, we know that isopropanol is more volatile than water. We know that since isopropanol has a higher vapor pressure (40 mmHg at 23.8 degrees Celsius, whereas water is 17.5 mmHg at 20 degrees Celsius). We also know that isopropanol has a lower boiling point than water.
Now, are there molecules...

Hi. I'm working on a lab in which I must find the vapor pressure of water. Data that I know is the temperature of the system, the volume of trapped air (2.35 mL), and the atmospheric pressure (1.024 atm). This means that I have 1.1x10^-4 mol of trapped air.

I'm working on vapor pressure for my general chemistry class, and I recently came across the curve P=C^(-\DeltaH/RT). I was wondering what the units are for C (or are there no units because it is a constant?) and where I could find a table of values for common liquids (water, ethanol, methanol...

Hi,
I've seen a very very small drop of mercury in a little corner of a laboratory table and it likely dates from a whole year. I've been told that mercury is quite volatile. So I shouldn't have seen this little drop if it really dates from the past year.
Looking into wikipedia, I see that...
