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

oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

they're all from the same group as sulfur (group 16).
