The vapor pressure of bromine, $\mathrm{Br}_{2}(l)$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $228 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$. (a) How many grams of bromine will be present as a gas if liquid bromine is poured into an evacuated $2.00-\mathrm{L}$ flask at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$ (b) If $2.00 \mathrm{~g}$ of bromine are used, what is the final pressure in the flask? Will there be liquid in the flask? (c) If $2.00 \mathrm{~g}$ of bromine are put into an evacuated $750.0-\mathrm{mL}$ flask at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, what is the final pressure in the flask? Will there be any liquid in the flask?

Key Concepts

Vapor Pressure

Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid (or solid) phase at a given temperature. It represents the tendency of molecules to escape from the liquid phase into the gas phase. In problems involving phase changes, knowing the vapor pressure allows you to determine whether a liquid will continue evaporating (if the partial pressure of its vapor is below the vapor pressure) or if equilibrium is achieved.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law, expressed as PV = nRT, relates the pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature of a gas. It is fundamental when calculating the amount of a substance in the gas phase, determining pressure changes due to added moles of gas, or converting between mass and moles. This concept is crucial for understanding how gases behave under different conditions.

Phase Equilibrium

Phase equilibrium refers to the condition under which different phases (such as liquid and gas) of a substance coexist without net change in their amounts because the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal. In the context of vapor pressure, phase equilibrium ensures that the pressure of the gas phase does not exceed the vapor pressure of the liquid, which dictates whether any additional liquid will evaporate or if a saturated state has been reached.
