Explaining Vapour Pressure and Evaporation by Chemical Potential
According to the coexistence curves, both gas and liquid phases can only exist when the chemical potential of both phases are equal.
Does this mean above and below the coexistence curve of liquid and ...

Mathematical models of Vaporization-Condensation dynamics
I am a mathematician now studying an introductory chemistry course.
Consider a liquid in a closed container, at (say) room temperature.
Then some of the liquid will vaporize. Then some of the ...

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 does Raoult's Law have a weighted sum instead of a direct sum?
I'm fully aware of the various questions asked about Raoult's Law, and I'm asking this after having gone through all of them and not finding a suitable answer to my question.
I have studied, that at a ...

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 ...

Relative humidity and vapor-pressure in equilibrium
I have quite an unclear understanding of relative humidity. I am writing my understanding on the topic and please correct me wherever I'm wrong:
What I understood:
Let's say $\ce{H2O}$ has a (...

Partial pressure of gases in a container with a piston
I've been having problems with the following problem.
Figure 1.
A container with a piston like that shown in Figure 1 is filled with $0.10$ $mol$ of Ar and $1.00$ $mol$ of water (liquid and vapor). ...

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, ...

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 ...

Calculating the number of volatile molecules in a container of known volume [closed]
Is it possible to calculate the number of volatile molecules (so only those in the gaseous phase) in a container of known volume, if the vapor pressure of the compound is known? So for example, if you ...

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 ...

Vapor Pressure and Boiling Point [duplicate]
I heard that the boiling point of a solution is the temperature where its vapor pressure at that temperature equals the atmospheric pressure at that temperature. Thus at higher altitudes, as the ...

Vapour Pressure of A Solution
I study in class 12, and have a doubt in vapour pressure that my school teacher and my friends are not able to clarify.
My doubt is the reason why the partial vapour pressure of each individual ...

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 ...
