Chapter 12: 12.95P (page 497)

Classify each of the following as a conductor, insulator, or semiconductor:

  1. carbon (graphite)
  2. sulfur
  3. platinum.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Carbon (graphite) is a conductor
  2. Sulphur is an insulator
  3. Platinum is a conductor

Step by step solution

01

Classification of elements

Elements that conduct heat and electricity in high conductivity range are known as conductors whereas elements with very low heating and electrical conductivity range are termed insulators.

Elements that lie in between the range of conductors and insulators are known as semiconductors.

02

Classification of graphite, Sulphur, and platinum

  1. Graphite is a form of carbon with high conductivity which is been used in the electrodes used in electroplating, etc.
  2. Sulphur consists of 6 valance electrons which are tightly bound and thus can鈥檛 be moved leading to low conductivity.

Platinum is a ductile material with only one valance electron thus it is highly conducting in nature.

Use these data to draw a qualitative phase diagram for . Does sublime at 0.05atm? Explain.

MP at 1atm: 13.96 K

BP at 1atm: 20.39 K

Triple point: 13.95 K and 0.07atm

Critical point: 33.2 K and 13.0atm

Vapour pressure of solid at 10 K: 0.001atm

Two important characteristics used to evaluate risks of fire or explosion are a compound鈥檚 lower flammable limit (LFL) and flash point. The LFL is the minimum percentage by volume in air that is ignitable. Below that, the mixture is too 鈥渓ean鈥� to burn. The flash point is the temperature at which the air over a confined liquid becomes ignitable. n-Hexane boils at 68.7oC at 1 atm. At 20oC , its vapour pressure is 121 mmHg. The LFL of n-hexane is 1.1%. Calculate the flash point of n-hexane.

In an experiment, 5.00 L of N2 is saturated with water vapour at 22掳C and then compressed to half its volume at constant T.

(a) What is the partial pressure ofH2Oin the compressed gas mixture?

(b) What mass of water vapor condenses to liquid?

Why does water vapour at100oCcause a more severe burn than liquid water at100oC?

Which forces oppose the vaporization of each substance?
