Problems

1. When Erlen Meyer performs the experiment, he begins by placing 20.2 mL N₂ (this has been corrected for the volume of the syringe tip) in the syringe at 297 K and atmospheric pressure of 738.6 torr. He adds 5 mL of an unknown liquid and warms the syringe to 53.0 ^oC. At this temperature, he finds the total (corrected) volume occupied by the gas to be 31.3 mL. Calculate the vapor pressure of Erlen's unknown at 53.0 ^oC in both atm and torr.
2. What is the purpose of fastening a pipet section to the barrel of the syringe?
3. What should happen in step 17 of the experiment with only liquid in the syringe (i.e., no added N₂ gas)? Be as specific as possible.
