Dimitri Mendeleev organized an early version of the Periodic Table in order of increasing _________

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.

What is the volume of 40.0 grams of argon gas at STP ?

MrRa [10]

Answer:

24.9 L Ar

General Formulas and Concepts:

Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Moles
STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

Aqueous Solutions

States of Matter

Stoichiometry

Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 40.0 g Ar

[Solve] L Ar

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[PT] Molar Mass of Ar - 39.95 g/mol

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

Step 3: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 40.0 \ g \ Ar(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ar}{39.95 \ g \ Ar})(\frac{22.4 \ L \ Ar}{1 \ mol \ Ar})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 24.9235 \ L \ Ar$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

24.9235 L Ar ≈ 24.9 L Ar
