Vapour pressure Definition and 38 Threads

Hi all., Just hoping to get a better fundamental insight into a few things. If we start with this: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Kinetic/vappre.html so we have a closed container at a given temperature, then we can find it's saturation pressure. All good so far. In the following...

Isn't the formula to be applied ##P= \chi_{solvent}P^o _{solvent}##? in which ##P^o _{solvent}##= 18.7mmHg and ##\chi_{solvent}= \frac{mol_{solvent}}{mol_{solvent}+mol_{solute}}=\frac{9.0 mol}{9.0 mol+0,50 mol}## but seems doesn't leads to the expected result

I have a problem at the very beginning. I don't know how to relate this vapour pressure to the temperature difference. I have read the hint: Recall the idea 7: for dynamical processes, at first, a mechanical equilibrium is reached, which means the equality of pressures; the other equilibria...

Vapour pressure in a closed system. Why does the partial pressure of water vapour in air equals to the equilibrium vapour pressure of liquid?

I am wondering about the impact of the hydro static pressure of a fluid on its boiling point. The simplest real world example scenario I can think of is the rate/onset of cavitation at a large depth vs a shallow depth. As we increase the submarine propellor speed to a speed where the adjacent...

I'm confused between partial pressure, total pressure, boiling point , vapour pressure , saturation pressure and saturation temperature.These things haunt me in my subject mass transfer. I get really confused when this words come in a liquid - vapour system, I cannot identify what these pressure...

Homework Statement Two systems in diffusive equilibrium have equal chemical potentials. We can use this fact to solve the following problem. We begin with a closed system consisting of a liquid such as water in diffusive equilibrium with its vapour. At the start, only the liquid and its vapour...

It was only the psychrometry came; I read about vapour pressure is equal to the saturation pressure at 100% relative humidity. While before even in the textbooks both terms are used frequently as same. I fully understood what saturation pressure is; learned during phase change phenomenon of...

THERE IS NO TEMPLATE BECAUSE GHIS HOMEWORK WAS PLACED IN AN INCORRECT FORUM Equimolar benzene and and toluene form essentially ideal solutions. At 20degC the vapour of benzene and toluene are 9.866kPa and 2.933kPa respectively. The solution is boiled by reducing the external pressure below the...

I want to reduce the amount of water present in the digestate coming out of my Anaerobic Digester. The traditional method would be to boil it until I've removed as much off as I want. However, this is expensive from an energy consumption point of view. There's a great video on Youtube showing a...

Homework Statement Estimate the vapor pressure of mercury at 25 ∘C (use data from Appendix D from the textbook). Homework Equations Using the appendix I can find ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS. The Attempt at a Solution I have no idea where to start. I think that maybe vapor pressure would be found when...

Homework Statement 'The vapour pressure of ethanol (C2H5OH) at 19°C is 40.0 torr. A 1.00-g sample of ethanol is placed in a 2.00 L container at 19°C. If the container is closed and the ethanol is allowed to reach equilibrium with its vapour, how many grams of liquid ethanol remain?' Homework...

Hi all, I am facing difficulty in understanding the reason behind the fact that a liquid boils when the atmospheric pressure is equal to its vapour pressure. We know that at the vapour pressure, the air and the liquid remain in equilibrium, so there's no net evaporation or condensation. So...

When there is a positive or negative deviation it is due to the interactions between A-A and B-B being weaker or stronger than the interactions between A-B. However, are there any scenarios where the interactions between A-A are stronger than A-B while B-B weaker than A-A or vice versa? In such...

Homework Statement I was asked to find the vapour pressure and saturated liquid molar density of propane at 263.15K using a generalised compressibility chart. (not allowed to use NIST or steam tables either, the chart i was given does not have reduced volume lines) Homework Equations Tr=T/Tc...

Hello, I've read about the concept of saturated vapour pressure on some sites but none of them really explain why the equilibrum happens and that's what I want to ask you. Why the number of particles leaving the surface and joining the surface can't change over time and never reach the equilibrum?

Homework Statement Moist air at 32 degrees C has a dew point of 26 degrees C. The total or atmospheric pressure is 100.7kPa. find the: Molal Humidity Relative Humidity Homework Equations Molal Humidity = \frac{P_{i}}{P_{tot} - P_{i}} Relative Humidity = \frac{P_{i}}{P_{vap}}...

I read in my Chemistry workbook that: "At higher temperatures, vapour pressure increases as more energy is provided to the liquid molecules, allowing them to escape into the gas phase." At the boiling point, all energy is gone into breaking bonds and to convert liquid phase molecules into...

According to Wikipedia, vapour pressure is the pressure of a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases in a closed system. Does that mean the pressure the vapour exerts on the container or the pressure the vapour exerts on the liquid?

Homework Statement This is problem in Mandl's book on Stats Phys; The vapour pressure of water at 298.15 K is 23.75 mmHg. What is the vapour pressure of water at 273.16 K, given that the latent heat of evaporation of water at 298.15 and 273.16 K is 43,991 and 45,049 J/mol respectively?Homework...

Hi all, I have a question on vapor pressure. As far as I understood, a liquid will flashes into gas when the absolute pressure it is experiencing (in a pipe / in the atmosphere) is lower than the liquid's vapor pressure (assuming temperature is constant). Everyone knows that gasoline forms...

Homework Statement I am supposed to determine the vapour pressure experimentally of a series of prepared solutions, which are a mixture of 2 different substances in different proportions. This involved attempting to create a "vacuum", placing the liquid inside and then measuring the change in...

Is lowering of vapour pressure a colligative property? I tried proving this and found it to be true. Pa = Poaχa, where a=solvent and b=solute Substituting χa=1-χb and some rearranging, we get Poa-Pa=Poaχb As Poa is constant for a given liquid at a given temperature, lowering of...

Now if i have the vapour pressure of water to be 200mm and the water occupies 4 L out of 20 L closed vessel.Which implies that the Vapour occupies 16 L Now if i shift the water to a 30 L closed vessel.The vapour pressure of water vapour remains the same even though it occupies a greater volume...

Why does osmosis happens? Does osmosis happens when we have osmotic pressure difference between the two solutions (that are connected by a membrane)? Does osmosis happens when we have two solutions of different concentrations? My professor told that osmosis happens because of the vapour...

If the vapour pressure of a component is bigger than the system pressure, does it means it will fully in vapour phase and no liquid phase are formed??

I've been looking at phase diagrams and vapour pressure tables for CO2 and i notice that the data stops at the critical point. what would happen to the pressure of CO2 if I heated it to above the critical temperature and kept the volume constant? Would the pressure increase following the...

The vapour pressure of pure chloroform at 70.0oC is 135.7 kPa. What mass of iodine (I2) should be dissolved in 1 L of chloroform, CHCl3 (density = 1.49 g/cm3) to lower the vapour pressure by 13.3 kPa? hey guys i really can't do this question, i think in involves raults law, P=XPA anyhelp...

Hi all, new here, so don't know if this is the right place. All the other places in the forum seemed like advanced stuff! Anyway, i don't understand why when calculating the partial pressure of a gas in SVP conditions, you subtract 6.28kPa from the normal atomospheric pressure of 101.1kPa...

Hi... I found this site a lot time ago and sometimes I feel like viewing your problems, maybe in a future I'll be active... I want to say that this IS NOT an homework, but it's an exercise I was never able to solve and so I try to put it here, even if I don't know whether it is the right section...

Ok I do not get WHY an object boils when atmospheric pressure is equal to Vapour pressure. Can anyone explain this? In my textbook it doesent explain it at all.
