What fraction of the volume of a vessel ...

What fraction of the volume of a vessel must liquid ether occupy at room temperature in order to pass into crictical state when critical temperature is reached ? Ether has `T_(cr) = 467 K, p_(cr) = 35.5 atm p M = 74 g//mol`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The vessel is such that either vapour or liquid of mass `m` occupies it at critical point. Then its volume will be
`v_(Cr) = (m)/(M) V_(Mcr) = (3)/(8) (RT_(Cr))/(P_(Cr))(m)/(M)`
The corresponding volume in liquid phase at room temperature is
`V = (m)/(rho)`
Where `rho` = density of liquid ether at room temperature. Thus
`eta = (V)/(V_(Cr)) = (8 Mp_(Cr))/(3 RT_(Cr) rho) ~~ 0.254`
using the given data (and `rho = 720 gm` per litre).

  • The essential conditions for liquefaction of gases were discovered by Andrews in 1869 as a result of his study of pressure-volume-temperature relationship for CO_(2) . If was found that above a certain temperature, it was impossible to liquefy a gas whatever the pressure was applied. The temperature below which the gas can be liquefied by the application of pressure alone is called critical temperature (T_(c)) . The pressure required to liquefy a gas at this temperature is called the critical pressure (P_(c)) . The volume occupied by one mole of the substance at the critical temperature and pressure is called critcal volume. Critical constants are related with van der Waals' constant as follows: V_(c) = 3b, P_(c) = (a)/(27b^(2)), T_(c) = (8a)/(27 Rb) {:("Gases",A,B,C,D,),(P_(c) (atm),2.2,14,35,45,),(T_(c) (K),5.1,33,127,140,):} Which of the above gases cannot be liquefied at 100 K and 50 atm ?
