Question

The vapor pressure of liquid octane, C8H18, is 40.0 mm Hg at 318 K. A sample of C8H18 is placed in a closed, evacuated container of constant volume at a temperature of 448 K. It is found that all of the C8H18 is in the vapor phase and that the pressure is 71.0 mm Hg. If the temperature in the container is reduced to 318 K, which of the following statements are correct?

a. The pressure in the container will be 42.8 mm Hg.
b. Liquid octane will be present.
c. Only octane vapor will be present.
d. Some of the vapor initially present will condense.
e. No condensation will occur.

Answer 1

a, d

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The pressure in the container will be 42.8 mm Hg.

d. Some of the vapor initially present will condense.
