- Vapourize temperature
The method used to measure vapor pressure is the Smith and Menzies method.In this
method, a small amount of liquid is placed in a closed tube and the saturated vapor
pressure is measured.
II.Methodology
Figure 1. The experimental diagram
Pour the liquid to be measured into the peach flask in both branches A and B (the
liquid level is about 2/3 submerged) and then connect to pipe N. put the flask into the
water cup in the thermostatic tank (the flask is completely underwater).
Leave the heating tank at the desired temperature. Operate the suction pump and then
open lock J. The vapor pressure at tank C gradually decreases, causing liquid levels B2
and M to increase, levels B1 and L to decrease, until a certain time. At a certain point,
air bubbles from A pull air out
2. Make sure that all the air in A has gone out, valve J is closed and valve K is slowly
opened to let air in until the levels B1 and B2 are approximately equal, then close
valve K. Record the temperature t, atmospheric pressure H and pressure difference h.
3. The temperature in the water bath needs to increase (1-1.5°C/once). Measure P
about 6-8 times at each temperature value.
Since all the air on A has been removed, it is not necessary to remove any more air
from the second measurement
4. From the values, create a graph of lnP=f(1/T)
III.Results

When measuring saturated vapor pressure, not pushing all the air out of A has a major
impact on many factors. The vapor pressure at A includes the air pressure, meaning that
the pressure drops markedly or the liquid column height is not maintained in the presence
of air at A.
= +
The liquid levels in B1 and B2, if only slightly different lead to small errors due to the
small density of Acetone.
V.Conclusion
After this experiment, the heat of vaporization calculated from the Clausius -Clapeyron
equation is 24942 (J/mol), along with the boiling temperature of 59℃. Compared to
theory, the experimental data has differences. difference. Wrong determination of boiling
temperature affects the results or errors during transition identification and when
observing mercury manometers.
Therefore, carefulness is really necessary during the experiment to avoid make mistakes
