Question

This quantity is assumed to be independent of pressure to eliminate the integral from a liquid’s Poynting factor. This quantity is assumed to be negligibly small for liquids to derive the Clausius–Clapeyron equation. When ethanol and water are mixed 50-50, this quantity decreases by 3 (20[1])percent compared (20[1])to an ideal solution. This quantity for the liquid and vapor are two of the three roots of the (*) van der Waals equation. If this quantity is constant, the First Law reduces to “delta U equals Q,” since no (10[1])work is (10[1])done. For water, (10[1])this extensive quantity (10[1])is minimized at four degrees, and it unusually increases upon freezing. (10[1])For 10 points, what quantity (10[1])is measured from the bottom of the meniscus (10[1])in a graduated cylinder? (10[5])■END■ (10[21])
