Questions

  1. Deduce Clausius–Clapeyron equation. If a substance increases in volume on melting, how is its melting point changed by increase of pressure?
  2. Derive the equation which gives the change of pressure of saturated vapour with change of temperature.
  3. Deduce the equation which is the basis of vapour pressure thermometers.
  4. Show that specific heat of saturated vapour is a negative quantity.
  5. At the boiling point of water, some fraction of the total mass of water and its vapour is in vapour state which is in equilibrium with water; what is that fraction?
  6. What do you mean by internal and external latent heat? Formulate them.
  7. What are steam line, hoar frost line, ice line and triple point? Can the triple point of water serve as a fixed point of ...
