1 At 60F freon12 dichlorodifluoromethane has a vapor pressur

1. At 60°F, freon-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) has a vapor pressure of 72.4 pounds per square inch (1.0 atm = 14.7 psi). If I opened a pressure vessel containing liquid freon-12 and poured it into an open beaker in the lab how much liquid freon would remain when equilibrium is established? Explain.

Solution

when theclosed container is opened the pressure of the liquid is dropped from 72.4 psi to atmospheric preesure 14.7 psi and dude to which the liquid will flow. For example take a soda bottle when you open the bottle the preesure is released from the bottle and it tries to matches the atmospheric preeesure as a result of which the liquid can flow out of the system or can flow.

let the liquid volume be 100ml, let the liquid that spilled out volume is x,so the volume spilled out is:

(100-x)X(72.4-14.7)=xX14.7

x=34.167 ml

after the liquid have flown 34.176 ml the equilibrium will be attained.
