Question

a beaker of benzene is at room temperature. what is its vapor pressure. Is this vapor pressure large enough to cause the benzene to boil at sea level answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(1). The vapor pressure is 91 mmHg at 20°C.

(2). No, benzene will not boil at sea level.

Explanation:

Benzene, C6H6 is an aromatic, liquid compound with with molar mass of 78.11 g/mol and Melting point of 5.5 °C. One of the importance or the uses of benzene is in the making of fibres and plastics.

The vapour pressure of benzene can be gotten from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids.

Boiling point can simply be defined as the point or the temperature in which the vapor pressure is the same with the atmospheric pressure.

The atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg, while the vapor pressure at sea level is at the temperature of 15°C which is equal to 71 mmHg( from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids).

71 mmHg is not equal to 760 mmHg, thus, at sea level Benzene will not boil.

Answer 2

A benzene is chemical that is color less or light to the eyes and is liquid at the rom temperature. It has a sweaty odor and is highly flammable.  

• Benzene,  that is C6H6 is an aromatic, liquid compound with with molar mass of 78.11 g/mole and a Melting point of 5.5 °C.

• The atmospheric pressure is at the 760mmHg, while the vapor pressure at the sea level is at the temperature of about 15°C which is equal to 71 mmHg. 71 mmHg is not the equal to 760 mmHg, thus, at sea level Benzene will not boil.

Thus the vapor pressure is 91 mmHg at 20°C, and No, benzene will not boil at the sea level.
