Working out energies of hydrogen bonds by comparing chemical potential of vapour and condensed phase - equation derivation

I want to ask a question about working out the energy of a hydrogen bond between two water molecules, $w_{AA}$ using the chemical potentials of vapour and condensed phases. I was reading K. Dill, ...

Measuring vapour pressure in a closed system

My experiment requires the determination of vapour pressure from which I will calculate the number density (or number of moles of the molecule) later, for a closed system. Here's my setup : Liquid ...

Is every substance in equilibrium with its vapours?

In one of my previous questions, I got an answer from user Jan: The smell of a compound as we perceive it usually depends on which receptors in the nose will bind the molecule (or not). These ...

How does association within vapor or dissociation within liquid affect the ideal nature of a binary solution?

As I understand, when there is positive deviation of a binary solution from Raoult's Law, the equilibrium partial pressure curve approach ideality (i.e a straight line dependence of equilibrium ...

What causes both components of a binary gas mix to condensate at the same time for a given composition

Okay, so recently I encountered the temperature - mole fraction diagrams for binary vapour-liquid equilibrium. For now, I only consider two-component systems where the components are very similar and ...

Anhydrous ammonia vapor-liquid equilibrium

I have been given a anhydrous ammonia vapor liquid system in an air-tight container where the pressure is 30 bar and the temperature is 30 degrees. They claim the system is in equilibrium, which I ...

Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium and partial pressure of ammonia

I tried searching the forums for a similar question but I do not think it was entirely answered: Suppose I have a closed system in a container with solvent and a certain concentration of gas, say ...

Why is vapor pressure constant at boiling point?

At non-boiling point, I understand that when you add heat, temperature increases and also the amount of gas increases, so by using $PV=nRT$ at constant volume, the increase in $n$ and $T$ would ...

Is the evaporation (liquid to gas conversion) of ethanol dependent on how full you fill it up in a sealed bottle?

It seems intuitive to think that in a bottle (which is air-tight), if you fill up ethanol (or any other volatile liquid) to very full extent, thereby leaving very little headspace, the amount of ...

Water vapor equilibrium calculations

The question had two parts. The first part said: Calculate the amount of water required to saturate a vessel of volume 82 L at 300 K given that the vapor pressure of water is 38 torr at 300 K. The ...

What is the ∆H_vap when temperature of a given liquid is equal to the boiling point of the liquid?

What is the $∆H_{vap}$ when temperature of a given liquid is equal to the boiling point of the liquid? For the other cases ie (i) T>BP, $∆H_{vap}$ > 0 (ii) T<BP, $∆H_{vap}$ < 0 So what ...
