3.      Water has an enthalpy of vaporization of 40.7 kJ/mole.  Calculate the boiling point of water in Denver where the atmospheric pressure is 630 Torr.

4.      Sketch a phase diagram of hydrazine and locate these points:  triple point (2.0°C and 3.4 Torr), normal melting point (1.4 °C)  normal boiling point (113.5 °C) critical point (380 °C and 145 atm).  Show where each phase exists.

5.      Short answer:

Can a gas always be liquefied by supplying enough pressure?  Why or why not?

Which has a higher Melting Point CSe2 or SiO2?  Why?

What is capillary action?

Why can you hold your hand in an oven at 100 °C for a few moments without much pain, but steam at 100 °C will cause serious burns?

6.      The osmotic pressure of a solution made by dissolving 0.8330 grams of a protein in enough water to make 170.0 mL had an osmotic pressure of 10.40 Torr at a temperature of 25°C.  What is the molar mass of the protein?

7.      A 6.24 M solution of NaHCO3 (aq) has a density of 1.25 g/mL.  What is the molality of the solution?

8.      How many liters of ethylene glycol C2H6O2 (d = 1.11g/mL) do you need to add to 8.5 kg. of water in a car radiator to get a freezing point of −20.°C.  Kf (H2O) = 1.86 °C kg/mol.
