Volume of gas to liquid
« on: February 16, 2008, 01:35:06 PM »
   I have a question that I've been trying to figure out. If you were given 1.05 moles of water in the gaseous state, what quantity of water in the liquid state would you get if the gas was compressed in a 2.61-L flask at 10 atm of pressure? I'm assuming not all of the gas would be compressed into liquid, meaning that there would be an equilibrium between the vapor and liquid water.

No temperature, no way to tell.

   Ah my mistake....the temperature is at 30 degrees Celsius.

Pressure given doesn't matter - only volume counts. Once the system reaches equilibrium pressure of the water vapor will be that given in the tables for 30 deg C. You know pressure, you know volume, you can calcuate n - everything else was condensed.
