Determine the equilibrium vapor pressure of germanium metal at 508.0 c. the standard enthalpy of vaporization of germanium is 376.6 kj/mol and the vapor pressure at 100 c is 1.6e-32 pa. be sure to express your final answer in pa.

P₂ = 5.550213 Pa

Explanation:

Given data:

Heat of vaporization = 376.6 KJ/mol  ( 376600 j/mol)

R = 8.3143 j mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

Temperature = T1 = 100 °C = 100 + 273 = 373 K

Temperature = T2 = 508.0 °C = 508.0+273 = 781 K

Pressure at 100°C= P1 = 1.6 × 10⁻³² Pa

Pressure at  508.0 °C = ?

Solution:

ln P₁/P₂ = ΔH /R ( 1/T₂ - 1/T₁)

ln (1.6 × 10⁻³² Pa) - ln (P₂) = 376600 j. mol⁻¹ /  8.3143 j mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ ( 1/T₂ - 1/T₁)

-73.212719 -  ln (P₂)  = 45295.45 (0.001280 - 0.002680)

-73.212719 -  ln (P₂) = 45295.45 (-0.00414)

-  ln (P₂) = -63.41363  + 73.212719

-  ln (P₂) = 9.799089

  P₂ = e⁻⁹°⁷⁹⁹⁰⁸⁹

  P₂ = 5.550213 Pa

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.
