Question

A 0.75-L bottle is cleaned, dried, and closed in a room where the air is22oC   and 44% relative humidity (that is, the water vapor in the air is 0.44 of the equilibrium vapor pressure at data-custom-editor="chemistry" 22oC ). The bottle is brought outside and stored at. data-custom-editor="chemistry" 0.0oC

 

(a) What mass of liquid water condenses inside the bottle?

 

(b) Would liquid water condense at?data-custom-editor="chemistry" 10oC (See Table 5.3, p. 207.)

Answer

As calculated, the mole of the water molecule at temperature 0°C10°C,  22°C is 1.5mole, 3mole, and 6 molesrespectively, having a mass of 27g, 54g, and 108g.

 

(a) The difference between the mass at temperature  and   is 81g. hence, the mass of liquid water that condenses inside the bottle is 81grams.

(b) Yes, liquid mass condenses because of the difference between the mass at temperature  and . The amount of mass that condenses is 54grams

1Subpart (a)

As known,

Pressure at temperature0°C is 4.6 torr.

Pressure at temperature  10°C is  .

Pressure at temperature  22°Cis 19.8 torr.

Volume of the water = 0.75 L = 750 mL .

Gas Constant,  .R = 8.314 J/k/mole

2Step 1: The mass of the water molecule at : 0°C

The temperature 0°C = 273K

Hence, the number of moles of water at0°C :

 PV =  nRT4.6 × 750mL = n × 8.314 × 273n = 4.6 × 750mL8.314 × 273n = 1.5 mole

 

 

 

Thereofre, the mass of the water molecule at :0°C

Number of  Moles = MassMolar Mass1.5 = Mass18

So,

Mass = 18 × 1.5Mass = 27 g 

 

3Step 2: The mass of the water molecule at: 22°C

Temperature  22°C = 295K

Hence, the number of moles of water at :22°C

 

 

 PV =  nRT19.8 × 750mL = n × 8.314 × 295n = 19.8 × 750mL8.314 × 295n =  6 mole

 

Thereofre, the mass of the water molecule at :22°C

 Number of  Moles = MassMolar Mass6 = Mass18

 

So,

Mass = 18 × 6Mass = 108 g 

4Step 3: Themass of liquid water condenses inside the bottle.

The difference in the mass at different temperature0°C and22°C :

 

 ΔM = 108g - 27gΔM = 81g

 

 

5Subpart (b) Step 1: Mass of the water molecule at :

Temperature  10°C = 283K

So, the number of moles of water at :10°C

 

 PV =  nRT9.2 × 750mL = n × 8.314 × 283n = 9.2 × 750mL8.314 × 283n = 3mole

Hence, the mass of the water molecule at:10°C

Number of  Moles = MassMolarMass3 = Mass18 

Hence,

Mass = 18 × 3Mass = 54g 

6Step 2:The mass of liquid water that condense at . 10°C

The difference in the mass at different temperature 10°Cand:22°C

 ΔM = 108g - 54gΔM = 54g
