Water standing in the open at 34.5°C evaporates because of the escape of some of the surface molecules. The heat of vaporization (553 cal/g) is approximately equal to εn, where ε is the average energy of the escaping molecules and n is the number of molecules per gram. (a) Find ε. (b) What is the ratio of ε to the average kinetic energy of H2O molecules, assuming the latter is related to temperature in the same way as it is for gases?

Water in an open metal drum is to be heated from 27 °C to 80 °C by adding superheated steam slowly enough that all the superheated steam condenses. The drum initially contains 250 kg of water, and superheated steam is supplied at 5.0 bar and 375 °C via a 7.5 cm ID stainless steel pipe. a.) How many kilograms of superheated steam should be added so that the final temperature of the water in the tank is exactly 80 °C?...

Consider the evaporation of methanol at 25.0 ?C : CH3OH(l)?CH3OH(g) . Why methanol spontaneously evaporates in open air at 25.0 ?C : Methanol evaporates at room temperature because there is an equilibrium between the liquid and the gas phases. The vapor pressure is moderate (143 mmHg at 25.0 degrees centigrade), so a moderate amount of methanol can remain in the gas phase, which is consistent with the free energy values. A.) Find ?G? at 25.0 ?C . B.) Find ?G...
