In which pair(s) would boiling occur? (Each pair corresponds to one row of the table)
a. 760 {mm,Hg} 700 {mm, Hg}
b. 480 {torr} 480 {mm, Hg}
c. 1.20 {atm} 912 {mm, Hg}
d. 1020{mm,Hg} 760 {mm, Hg}
e. 740 {torr} 1.00 {atm}
Aaron, I don't have the foggiest idea of what you are asking nor what the data shows.
I have to figure out which Atmospheric Pressure and Vapour Pressure pairs would cause boiling.
OK. Do you know the definition of boiling point? When the vapor pressure of the material is atmospheric pressure, the material will boil(is boiling). So
atm = 760 and vp 700, no boiling.
480 torr and 480 mm, boiling.
etc.
Don't forget to compare the same units.
To determine in which pair(s) boiling would occur, we need to compare the boiling points of each substance in the pairs. The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the external pressure applied to the substance.
Let's examine each pair one by one:
a. 760{mm,Hg} 700{mm, Hg}
To compare the boiling points, we need to know the boiling point of the substance at 760 mmHg and 700 mmHg. We would need to look up the specific boiling point of the substance at different pressures to determine if it would boil at either pressure.
b. 480{torr} 480{mm, Hg}
Again, we would need to compare the boiling points of the substance at 480 torr and 480 mmHg. To find this, we need to check the specific boiling point of the substance at those pressures.
c. 1.20{atm} 912{mm, Hg}
Similar to the previous pairs, we need to compare the boiling points at 1.20 atm and 912 mmHg. We would need to find the specific boiling point of the substance at these pressures.
d. 1020{mm,Hg} 760{mm, Hg}
As before, we need to determine the boiling point of the substance at 1020 mmHg and 760 mmHg by looking up the specific information.
e. 740{torr} 1.00{atm}
Once again, we need to find the boiling point of the substance at 740 torr and 1.00 atm by checking the specific boiling point information.
To determine in which pair(s) boiling would occur, you would need to find the specific boiling points of the substances at the given pressures and compare them. This information is typically found in reference materials or databases.
