A. 332 J/mol |
B. 8.314 J/mol |

1. Which one of the following is true?
A. London forces do not exist between molecules of dimethylamine, (CH3)2NH FLASE, they do, due to electron distribution
B. increasing the pressure above a liquid increases its boiling point . TRUE , increase in pressure will require more energy to vaporize the liquid molecules, thereofre higher BP
C. the surface of hexane, C6H14, in a glass tube will be a u-shaped meniscus. FALSE, will be convex, since no attractions between hexane due to adhesion
D. a water drop will spread out and “wet” a surface of polyethylene. False, since it is impermeable
E. amorphous solids have a well defined melting point. False, they change according to structure, similar to glass
Q2.
ln(P) vs 1/T
Recall that in equilibrium; especially in vapor-liquid equilibriums, we can use Clasius Clapyeron combination equation in order to relate two points in the same equilibrium line.
The equation is given as:
ln(P2/P1) = -dHvap/R*(1/T2-1/T1)
Where
P2,P1 = vapor pressure at point 1 and 2
dH = Enthalpy of vaporization, typically reported in kJ/mol, but we need to use J/mol
R = 8.314 J/mol K
T1,T2 = Saturation temperature at point 1 and 2
Therefore, we need at least 4 variables in order to solve this.
Substitute all known data:
ln(P2/P1) = -dHvap/R*(1/T2-1/T1)
if slope = -39.9
-dHVap/R = -39.9
Hvap = 8.314*39.9 = 331.7286 J/mo, choose A
