Question
Chapter 15, Problem 51E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Dew in terms of relative humidity is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The water droplets that are found on thin and exposed objects in morning and evening are called dew.
Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the air which is calculated as the percentage of vapour required for saturation at the same temperature.

- When a small amount of pentane is in contact with a water droplet on top of a glass table, it forms a very thin film that covers the droplet and part of the table. Why does the pentane spread out and not form a droplet? Why does water form a droplet on glass (and not spread out)? Why do water and pentane not mix? How is the pentane able to "creep" up and across the water droplet to form a film? Please answer the questions by focusing on intermolecular forces.arrow_forwardExplain why doesn't oil and water mixarrow_forwardWhich of the illustrated compounds has the higher boiling point?

- Refer to Figure 11.12 to answer these questions: (a) You heat some water to 60 C in a lightweight plastic bottle and seal the top very tightly so gas cannot enter or leave the carton. What happens when the water cools? (b) If you put a few drops of liquid diethyl ether on your hand, does it evaporate completely or remain a liquid? Figure 11.12 Vapor pressure curves for diethyl ether [(C2H3)2O], ethanol (C2H5OH), and water. Each curve represents conditions of T and P of which the two phases, liquid and vapor, are in equilibrium. These compounds exist as liquids for temperatures and pressures to the left of the curve and as gases under conditions to the right of the curve.
