Problem Set
- Explain in your own words (no more than a paragraph) why the 2-Phase segment of the P-v isotherm should correspond to one single point in the P-T diagram.
- What about the critical point in the P-T diagram? Which P-v isotherm could that correspond to?
- Take two different hydrocarbons (say, C1 and C2) and compare their P-T vapor pressure curves. What do you notice? As you saw in the previous module, those P-T curves will be found at different conditions of pressure and temperature. But more than that, what can you comment about the slopes of both curves? Are they different? Why? Speculate.
