Vapor Pressure Question
« on: May 14, 2006, 06:13:10 PM »
Hey! I am absolutely stumped on these 2 chemistry questions! If anyone could please guide me in the right direction that would be great!!

-You place 1600 mL of C2H5OH in an air tight container measuring 3.0 ft x 1.3 ft x 2.0 ft. The temperature is held at a constant 25.0 degrees Celsius. Will all the C2H5OH vaporize? Vapor pressure of C2H5OH at 25 degrees Celsius is 86.4 mm Hg and the density is 0.79 g/mL.

I answered no because temperature must be greater than boiling point in order for it all to vaporize but my work isn't working out! My container measurement is 13478 cubic centimeters while my answer using vapor pressure was .408 cubic centimeters. I am not exactly sure of the relation between to two.


ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

-An ice cube tray contains enough H2O at 22.0 degrees Celsius to make 18 ice cubes (each has a mass of 30 g). 6 identical ice cube trays are placed in a freezer that uses CF2Cl2 as a refrigerant. What mass of CF2Cl2  must be vaporized to convert ALL the H2O to ice at -5.0 ddegreesCelsius? HVAP for CF2Cl2 is 158 J/g.

I know that HVAP=19.1043 KJ/mol and also that the 6 trays=3240g but what is throwing me off is the fact that i have to find the mass of CF2Cl2!! I can't use the cClausiuscClapeyronformula and the ideal gas law PV=nRT!

If you put glass of water in any place for long enough it will dry out regardless of the temperature (assuming it is shielded from rain ;) ). So there is no need for temperature above boiling point.
