please explain the reason behind the answer
Explanation / Answer
11.122 We need to assume that we are at 300K (warm room temp).We want to know how many moles of CCl3F we have and then use the ideal gas laws to see how much volume this much gas would occupy. If it would occupy more than the volume of our container, 1.2 liters, then we will have some liquid. Molar mass of C~12, Cl ~ 34.5, F ~14, so ~120, so we have about a tenth of a mole. At STP a mole would take up 22.4 l, so we have around a twentieth of the volume a mole would occupy and we have about a tenth of a mole, so we have about twice as much CClF as would vaporize. If we were closer, we would multiply by some ratios, for example 856/760 says we have more vaporized than we would expect, and 300/273 says we would need a bigger volume to hold a mole. These two adjustments tend to cancel each other, so with our 2x factor, it is safe to say we have some liquid.
11.146 We are below the freezing point by a lot, which makes this easy to freeze. We can imagine taking this water up to zero and then freezing it. To take liquid water from -15 to 0 takes 15*75.2 J for each mole heated. To melt frozen water at zero takes 6020 J/mole. Since we are doing the opposite of both, we get 1125J + 6020J = 7.145 KJ, so -7.14 kJ (not positive about htis one)
11.148 from the given answers, we see that we have a weighted average of the two vapor pressures. 2 and 4 is the same ratio as 1 and 2, so we expect 32 mm Hg. The amount of excess liquid in the container has a very small effect on the vapor pressure.
