    =    .  Later,  the gas is  under   STP conditions,

so  T   =   273 K   and P   =   760 mmHg.   Now,        =   .

If  we  set initial     =   final    ,  we  get     =   

. Rearranging and applying some algebra gives us V =


10× × L.    This    is  choice  (E).


  1. A Use the phase diagram. At 0.5 atm and 200 K, substance Z is a gas. If we
    maintain this temperature and increase the pressure, we can draw a
    vertical line from the point (0.5 atm, 200 K). Eventually that vertical line
    will cross into the liquid region. This means that, under steadily
    increasing pressure, substance Z (starting at 0.5 atm and 200 K) will
    condense. Condensation is the phase change from gas to liquid.

  2. C The normal boiling point is the temperature at which the phase change
    from liquid to gas occurs, at a pressure of 1 atm. If you extend a
    horizontal line from the 1.0 atm mark on the “pressure” axis and see
    where it intersects the liquid-gas boundary, you’ll get the normal boiling
    point. Doing so on this phase diagram shows a normal boiling point of
    about 300 K.
