For many years drinking water has been cooled in hot climates by evaporating it from the surfaces of canvas bags or porous clay pots. How many grams of water can be cooled from \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) by the evaporation of \(60 \mathrm{~g}\) of water? (The heat of vaporization of water in this temperature range is \(2.4 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{g}\). The specific heat of water is \(4.18 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K} .)\)

\(2296 \mathrm{~g}\) of water can be cooled from \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) by the evaporation of \(60 \mathrm{~g}\) of water.

Step by step solution

01

We are given that \(60 \mathrm{~g}\) of water evaporates, and the heat of vaporization is \(2.4 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{g}\). First, we need to convert the heat of vaporization to Joules: Heat of vaporization = \(2.4 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{g} \times (1000 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kJ}) = 2400 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}\) Now, we can calculate the amount of heat lost due to evaporation: Heat lost due to evaporation (Q) = (mass of evaporated water) \(\times\) (heat of vaporization) Q = \(60 \mathrm{~g} \times 2400 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} = 144000 \mathrm{~J}\) #Step 2: Calculate the amount of heat required to cool the remaining water#

To find out the amount of heat required to cool the remaining water from \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), we can use the specific heat formula: Heat required (Q) = (mass of water to be cooled) \(\times\) (specific heat of water) \(\times\) (change in temperature) Let's denote the mass of water to be cooled as 'm'. Then, the change in temperature is \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C} - 20^{\circ} \mathrm{C} = 15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The specific heat of water is given as \(4.18 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K}\). Now, the formula becomes: Q = m \(\times 4.18 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K} \times 15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) #Step 3: Equate the heat lost due to evaporation to the heat required to cool the remaining water#
02

As the heat lost due to evaporation is used to cool the remaining water, we can equate the heat values we calculated in Step 1 and Step 2: \(144000 \mathrm{~J} = m \times 4.18 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K} \times 15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) #Step 4: Calculate the mass of water that can be cooled#

Now, we can solve the equation in Step 3 for the mass (m) of water that can be cooled: \[m = \frac{144000 \mathrm{~J}}{4.18 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K} \times 15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}\] \[m = \frac{144000 \mathrm{~J}}{62.7 \mathrm{~J}/\mathrm{g}}\] \[m = 2296 \mathrm{~g}\] Hence, \(2296 \mathrm{~g}\) of water can be cooled from \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) by the evaporation of \(60 \mathrm{~g}\) of water.

True or false: (a) \(\mathrm{CBr}_{4}\) is more volatile than \(\mathrm{CCl}_{4}\). (b) \(\mathrm{CBr}_{4}\) has a higher boiling point than \(\mathrm{CCl}_{4}\). (c) \(\mathrm{CBr}_{4}\) has weaker intermolecular forces than \(\mathrm{CCl}_{4}\). (d) \(\mathrm{CBr}_{4}\) has a higher vapor pressure at the same temperature than \(\mathrm{CCl}_{4}\)

(a) Explain why X-rays can be used to measure atomic distances in crystals but visible light cannot. (b) Why can't \(\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\) have the same crystal structure as \(\mathrm{NaCl} ?\)

Suppose you have two colorless molecular liquids, one boiling at \(-84{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the other at \(34{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and both at atmospheric pressure. Which of the following statements is correct? For those that are not correct, modify the statement so that it is correct. (a) The higher-boiling liquid has greater total intermolecular forces than the other. (b) The lower boiling liquid must consist of nonpolar molecules. (c) The lower-boiling liquid has a lower molecular weight than the higher-boiling liquid. (d) The two liquids have identical vapor pressures at their normal boiling points. (e) At \(34^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) both liquids have vapor pressures of \(760 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\).

The vapor pressure of a volatile liquid can be determined by slowly bubbling a known volume of gas through it at a known temperature and pressure. \(\operatorname{In}\) an experiment, \(5.00 \mathrm{~L}\) of \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\) gas is passed through \(7.2146 \mathrm{~g}\) of liquid benzene, \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}\), at \(26.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The liquid remaining after the experiment weighs \(5.1493 \mathrm{~g}\). Assuming that the gas becomes saturated with benzene vapor and that the total gas volume and temperature remain constant, what is the vapor pressure of the benzene in torr?

It is possible to change the temperature and pressure of a vessel containing argon gas so that the gas solidifies. (a) What intermolecular forces exist between argon atoms? (b) Is the solid argon a "covalent network solid"? Why or why not?
