The vapor pressure of liquid chloroform, CHCl3, is 100. mm Hg at 283 K. A 0.198 g sample of liquid CHCl3 is placed in a closed, evacuated 400. mL container at a temperature of 283 K.

Assuming that the temperature remains constant, will all of the liquid evaporate?
What will the pressure in the container be when equilibrium is reached?

1 answer

The pressure inside the container will be 100 mm Hg when equilibrium is reached.
Use PV = nRT and solve for n, then n = grams/molar mass to solve for grams.
Compare grams in the vapor with grams of the liquid to know if all will have evaporated.
