Chapter 17 Problem 50P

Question

Referring to the vapor-pressure curve for carbon dioxide given in Figure 17–2,

(a) estimate the temperature at which \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) boils when the pressure is \(1.5 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~Pa}\)

(b) If the pressure is increased, does the boiling temperature increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 2

a) The vapor pressure curve shows the relationship between the vapor pressure and boiling point temperature of carbon dioxide.

From the figure we see that if the pressure is , temperature on which  will boil is about .
