Question

The vapor pressure of liquid pentane, C5H12, is 40.0 mm Hg at 244 K. A sample of C5H12 is placed in a closed, evacuated container of constant volume at a temperature of 409 K. It is found that all of the C5H12 is in the vapor phase and that the pressure is 62.0 mm Hg. If the temperature in the container is reduced to 244 K, which of the following statements are correct?
a. No condensation will occur.
b. The pressure in the container will be 100. mm Hg.
c. Only pentane vapor will be present.
d. Some of the vapor initially present will condense.
e. Liquid pentane will be present.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. The pressure in the container will be 100mm Hg.

d. Some of vapor initially present will condense.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure of liquid Pantene rises when there is container where evacuation of water molecules is restricted. The pressure inside the container rises to 100 mm Hg and then liquid molecules start condensing. These molecule form vapors.
