Answer:

Basically, fragrances reach other person through sense of smell. So, the strength of the fragrances depends a lot on its evaporation, which is strongly related to the boiling point. Esters with higher molecular weight do not have a strong fragrance because it has a higher boiling point.

The vapor pressure of liquid chloroform, CHCl3, is 100. mm Hg at 283 K. A 0.380 g sample of liquid CHCl3 is placed in a closed,

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

100 mm Hg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The vapor pressure of CHCl3, is $P = 100 \ mmHg = \frac{100}{760}= 0.13156 \ atm$

The temperature of CHCl3 is $T = 283 \ K$

The volume of the container is $V_c = 380mL = 380 *10^{-3}\ L$

The temperature of the container is $T_c = 283 \ K$

The mass of CHCl3 is m = 0.380 g

Generally the number of moles of CHCl3 present before evaporation started is mathematically represented as

$n = \frac{m }{M }$

Here M is the molar mass of CHCl3 with the value $M = 119.38 \ g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{ 0.380 }{119.38 }$

=> $n = 0.00318 \ mols$

Generally the number of moles of CHCl3 gas that evaporated is mathematically represented as

$n_g = \frac{PV}{RT}$

Here R is the gas constant with value $R = 0.08206 L \ atm /mol\cdot K$

$n_g = \frac{0.13156* 380 *10^{-3} }{0.08206 * 283}$

$n_g = 0.00215 \ mols$

Given that the number of moles of CHCl3 evaporated is less than the number of moles of CHCl3 initially present , then it mean s that not all the liquid evaporated

At equilibrium the temperature of CHCl3 will be equal to the pressure of air so the pressure at equilibrium is 100 mmHg

Explain, in terms of particle behavior why smoke particles cause the detector alarm to sound

Explain in terms of particle behavior why smoke particles cause the detector alarm to sound

Smoke detectors are of many types but they rely on the principle of diffusion of smoke. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. Smoke particles move in what is known as Brownian motion.
