, in part i) we are to determine the pressure due to the vapor at the two different temperatures using the ideal gas law. This type of problem should be recognized as a change of condition problem. The variables are pressure and temperature so the important equation to calculate the new pressure is,

P1/T1 = P2/T2

To calculate the pressure due to the vapor at degrees celsius we need to use the data in the table below. Using the equation above we solve for the new pressure.

.

Initial Pressure

Initial Temperature (K)

Final Pressure

Final Temperature (K)

P1 = mmHg

T1 = 273 K

P2 =

T2 = 273 K

P2 = (P1 * T2)/T1 = *273/273 = 0 mmHg mmHg
