Question

In which pair(s) would boiling occur? (Each pair corresponds to one row of the table)

a. 760 {mm,Hg} 700 {mm, Hg}
b. 480 {torr} 480 {mm, Hg}
c. 1.20 {atm} 912 {mm, Hg}
d. 1020{mm,Hg} 760 {mm, Hg}
e. 740 {torr} 1.00 {atm}

Answer 1

Aaron, I don't have the foggiest idea of what you are asking nor what the data shows.

Answer 2

I have to figure out which Atmospheric Pressure and Vapour Pressure pairs would cause boiling.

Answer 3

OK. Do you know the definition of boiling point? When the vapor pressure of the material is atmospheric pressure, the material will boil(is boiling). So
atm = 760 and vp 700, no boiling.
480 torr and 480 mm, boiling.
etc.
Don't forget to compare the same units.
