Consider the heating curve for water. A graph of the heating curve for water has time in minutes on the horizontal axis and Temperature in degrees Celsius on the vertical axis. A line runs through the following points: 0 minutes, negative 20 degrees; 0.5 minutes, 0 degrees; 2 minutes, 0 degrees; 4 minutes, 100 degrees; 8 minutes, 100 degrees; 9.5 minutes, 160 degrees.

At what temperature does the solid start melting?
–20°C
0°C
20°C
80°C

)benzene and toluene form nearly ideal solutions. consider an equimolar solution of benzene and toluene. at 20 °c the vapour pressures of pure benzene and toluene are 9.9 kpa and 2.9 kpa, respectively. the solution is boiled by reducing the external pressure below the vapour pressure. calculate (i) the pressure when boiling begins, (ii) the composition of each component in the vapour, and (iii) the vapour pressure when only a few drops of liquid remain. assume that the rate of vaporization is low enough for the temperature to remain constant at 20 °c.
