Safety Precautions Always work in an area that is well ventilated. Follow all directions for using the equipment. Wear safety glasses and follow standard laboratory safety procedures.
Pre-Lab Questions 1) Describe intermolecular forces. Why do you think these might play a role in the vapor pressure of various liquids? 2) How do you think the temperature of a liquid relates to its vapor pressure? Procedure Equipment Setup 1) Set up the water baths. Set up a cool water bath by half filling one beaker with cool water. Set up a warm water bath. Half fill a second beaker with water and place the beaker on the hot plate. Heat the second water bath to a temperature of 60 C. Use the temperature probe of the sensor to check the temperature occasionally as you set up the rest of the equipment.

2) Prepare the tubing and stopper. See the Sensor Information Sheet for the Chemistry Sensor for detailed instructions regarding preparing the tubing. Once the tubing is prepared, place a drop of glycerin on the large end of the connector and one on a hole in the stopper. Then insert the large-diameter end into the stopper. 3) Place a drop of glycerin in the other hole of the rubber stopper. Slide the Temperature Sensor through the hole in the rubber stopper.
Note: You may need to use the blue plastic tubing included with the sensor to ensure an airtight fit between the probe and stopper.
Xplorer GLX Setup 1) Connect the Chemistry Sensor to port #1 on the GLX. 2) Connect the temperature probe to the stereo plug on the Chemistry Sensor. 3) Set up a graph of Absolute Pressure versus Temperature: From the Home screen press Press to open the Graph Display.
Use the Arrow Keys to highlight the Time field (on the x axis) and press to open data source menu. Select Temperature as the data source and press Record Data Part I: Acetone 1) Put 10 mL of acetone in the flask. Hold the flask in the hot water bath. 2) Leave the flask in the water bath for four minutes to allow the acetone to vaporize and purge air from the flask. 3) Place the two hole stopper firmly into the top of the flask with the acetone. Adjust the Temperature Sensor in the rubber stopper so the tip of the sensor is in the liquid. 4) Align the quick-release connector on the end of the plastic tubing with the connector on the pressure port of the Pressure Sensor. Push the connector onto the port, and then turn the connector clockwise until it clicks (about one-eighth turn). again to select.

5) Remove the flask from the water bath. 6) Press to begin recording data.
7) Observe the change in temperature and pressure as the flask cools. 8) After four minutes immerse the flask in the cool water bath. 9) Continue recording data until the temperature reaches about 30 C. Press again to end data recording. 10) Slowly remove the two hole stopper to allow air to enter the flask. 11) Follow proper procedure to dispose of the remaining acetone. 12) Rinse and dry the flask. Part II: Ethanol 1) Heat the hot water bath to 75 C. 2) Put 10 mL of ethanol into the flask. Hold the flask in the hot water bath. 3) Leave the flask in the water bath for four minutes to allow the ethanol to vaporize and purge air from the flask. 4) Place the two hole stopper firmly into the top of the flask with the ethanol. Adjust the temperature probe in the rubber stopper so the tip of the sensor is in the liquid. 5) Repeat the data recording procedure for the ethanol (steps 5-12 in Part I). Analyze Record calculations in your data table on the Student Response Sheet as you complete your analysis. Use your data to answer the analysis and synthesis questions. Analysis 1) Enlarge your graph display by pressing to best view the data.
2) Use the Graph display to determine the relationship between pressure and temperature for the two liquids. Analysis and Synthesis Questions 1) What is the general relationship between the vapor pressure of acetone and the temperature of the liquid?

2) What is the general relationship between the vapor pressure of ethanol and the temperature of the liquid?. 3) Is the relationship between acetone and temperature and ethanol and temperature the same? How are they different? 4) Which would you predict has the higher boiling point, acetone or ethanol? Clearly state your reasons. 5) Write out the molecular structures for acetone (CH3COCH3) and ethanol (C2H5OH). Based on the structures, would you expect acetone or ethanol to have a higher boiling point? Does this agree with your experimental results? 6) Using what you learned in this experiment, sketch the pressure vs. temperature for methanol, water, and methane. Which would you predict to have the highest boiling point? The lowest?. 7) A large bell-shaped jar is placed over a beaker of water. The inside of the jar is hooked up to a vacuum pump. When the pump is turned on, a vacuum is created within the jar. As the pressure is lowered, the water in the beaker appears to boil. But no heat is being applied to the beaker. Explain how the water boils without being heated?
