At 100°C, water and methylcyclohexane both have vapour pressures of 1 atm. Also at 100°C, the latent heats of vaporisation of these compounds are 40.63 kJ/mole for water and 31.55 kJ/mole for methylcyclohexane. The vapour pressure of water at 150°C is 4.69 atm. At 150°C, the vapour pressure of methylcyclohexane would be expected to be

Correct Answer: Significantly more than 4.69 atm

$${{{{(469 + 174)}^2} - {{(469 - 174)}^2}} \over {(469 \times 174)}} = ?$$

$$\frac{{{{\left( {469 + 174} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {469 - 174} \right)}^2}}}{{469 \times 174}} $$      = ?

The latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2,240 J. If the work done in the process of vaporisation of 1g is 168 J, then the increase in internal energy is?

Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. A direct proportionality exists between vapour pressure and the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere
2. Relative humidity is an expression of the ratio of the actual vapour pressure of the atmosphere when saturated at the same temperature
3. A rise or fall in temperature with no change in vapour pressure will cause a drop or rise, respectively, in relative humidity
4. A rise or fall in vapour pressure with no change in temperature will be accompanied by a rise or fall, respectively, in relative humidity

Saturated solution of benzene in water is in equilibrium with a mixture of air and vapours of benzene and water at room temperature and pressure. Mole fraction of benzene in liquid is xB and the vapour pressures of benzene and water at these conditions are PvB and Pvw respectively. The partial pressure of benzene in air-vapour mixture is

The vapour pressure of water is given by, in Psat = A - (5000/T), where A is a constant, Psat is the vapour pressure in atm. and T is the temperature in K.The vapor pressure of water in atm. at 50°C is approximately

At lower temperatures and pressures, the latent heat of vaporisation of a refrigerant

In a surface condenser, the water flowing through a series of tubes at the rate of 200 kg/hr is heated from 15 degree Celsius to 75 degree Celsius. The steam condenses on the outside surface of tubes at atmospheric pressure and the overall heat transfer coefficient is estimated at 860 k J/m2 hr degree. Find the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. At the condensing pressure, stream has a saturation temperature 0f 100 degree Celsius and the latent heat of vaporization is 2160 k J/kg. Further, the steam is initially just saturated and the condensate leaves the exchanger without sub-cooling i.e. only latent heat of condensing steam is transferred to the water. Take specific heat of water as 4 k J/kg K
