The property of the working fluid (alcohol) in a vacuum
Nomogram for determining the boiling point of substances under reduced pressure.
boiling point of a substance in vacuum are found using a nomogram (Fig. 76) on the continuation of a straight line connecting the boiling point of this substance at atmospheric pressure and the value of the residual pressure.
For approximate calculations, you can also use the rule of thumb: when the pressure is halved, the boiling point of substances decreases by about 15 ° C.
Pressure-boiling point chart published by Maybridge Chemical Co., Ltd.
To bring the boiling point at a certain pressure to 760 mm Hg. Art., connect the corresponding values on scales A and C with a straight line. The required boiling point value is read on scale B. If you then connect the found boiling point value with a straight line with any pressure value on the C scale, then its intersection point with scale A will give an approximate boiling point corresponding to the selected pressure.

Boiling temperature, Boiling point The temperature at which a liquid boils under constant pressure. The boiling point corresponds to the temperature of saturated vapor above the flat surface of the boiling liquid, since the liquid itself is always somewhat overheated relative to the boiling point.
According to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, with increasing pressure, the boiling point increases, and with a decrease in pressure, the boiling point decreases accordingly:
,
where is the boiling point at atmospheric pressure, K,
- specific heat of vaporization, J/kg,
- molar mass, kg/mol,
is the universal gas constant.
The limiting boiling point is the critical temperature of a substance. So the boiling point of water will change on Earth depending on the altitude: from 100 ° C at sea level to 69 ° C at the top of Everest. And with an even greater increase in height, a point will arise at which it will no longer be possible to obtain liquid water: ice and steam will pass directly into each other, bypassing the liquid phase.
The boiling point of water depending on the pressure can be calculated quite accurately using the formula:
, ,
where the pressure is taken in MPa (ranging from 0.1 MPa to 22 MPa).
Boiling temperature constancy
The boiling point at atmospheric pressure is usually given as one of the main physicochemical characteristics of a chemically pure substance.
However, data on the boiling point of ultrapure substances, in particular, organic liquids such as ether and benzene, may differ significantly from the usual tabular data. This is due to the formation of associates that can accumulate in the liquid in the absence of water as a mediator of the establishment of an equilibrium state. Thus, ultra-dried benzene can be subjected to fractional distillation in the range of 90-118 °C.

Toluene, or following another nomenclature, methylbenzene, is a colorless liquid with a slightly sweet, strong aroma characteristic of varnishes and paints, insoluble in water. Belongs to the class of aromatic hydrocarbons (arenes), substances with a benzene nucleus and a special nature of chemical bonds, is its simplest representative along with benzene.
Density and other properties of toluene
- Toluene is a combustible substance, when burned, it smokes strongly.
- Inhalation of toluene vapors can cause mild drug intoxication.
- Less toxic than benzene, as it is excreted from the body, turning into benzoic acid during the oxidation process.
- Like other aromatic hydrocarbons, toluene is lighter than water and does not dissolve in it.
- Soluble in alcohols, ether and acetone.
- The structure of toluene is similar to benzene, except for the replacement of one atom with a CH3 group.
- It enters into two types of chemical reactions: with the participation of the benzene ring or with the participation of the methyl group.

Application of toluene
Toluene, benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons are used in the production of paints and varnishes, dyes. Some of them are used as physiologically active substances, for example, in the production of plant care products, in the production of medicines. Toluene is a solvent for a large number of polymers.
A large percentage of toluene is in the P-4 solvent. The composition of the mixture includes, in addition to aromatic hydrocarbons (62% toluene), acetone (26%) and butyl acetate (12%).
Used as an additive in high octane gasolines. May be a component of explosives. It is the main component of some solvents, a component of some types of varnishes, printing inks, a derivative of benzoic acid and saccharin.
health hazard
Toluene is dangerous not only for human health, but also for the environment. The substance enters the body through the pores of the skin and respiratory tract. Long-term exposure and accumulation of a harmful substance can cause serious diseases of the nervous system, such as encephalopathy. Toluene, like similar aromatic hydrocarbons, is also detrimental to the blood and blood-forming organs.
Signs of poisoning with toluene: nausea, dizziness, imbalance, inhibition of consciousness and reactions. Prolonged and severe poisoning can lead to irreversible consequences and death. Toluene is flammable.
Rules for working with toluene:

Synonym - methylbenzene. Colorless mobile volatile liquid with a pungent odor. Miscible in unlimited limits with hydrocarbons, many alcohols and ethers, while mixing toluene with water is impossible. Dissolves polymers: polystyrene at room temperature, polyethylene when heated. Combustible, burns with the release of soot. Toluene was first isolated from tolu balsam, a yellowish-brown, sweet-smelling resin from the South American tree toluifera balsamum. Hence the name - toluene. This balm was used in the preparation of cough remedies and in perfumery. Currently, toluene is obtained from petroleum fractions and coal tar or in the processes of catalytic reforming of gasoline fractions and pyrolysis. It is isolated by selective extraction and subsequent rectification.
Application of toluene: Toluene is a valuable raw material for organic synthesis, for the production of motor fuel components with a high octane number, for the production of explosives (trinitrotoluene), pharmaceuticals, dyes and solvents. As the main component, it is included in the composition of mixed solvents (, R-4A, R-5A, R-12) used for dissolving in the manufacture and application of epoxy, vinyl, acrylic, nitrocellulose, chlorinated rubber paints and varnishes. Oxidation reactions are of practical importance; as a result of such a reaction, benzoic acid is obtained. To obtain benzoic acid, the oxidation of toluene with air or atmospheric oxygen is used. The process is carried out either in the vapor or in the liquid phase. Liquid-phase processes in industry are used more often. Danger to humans: Toluene is a toxic product (hazard class - third). Toluene vapors at high concentrations have a narcotic effect on a person, causing severe hallucinations and a dissociative state. Until 1998, toluene was part of the popular Moment glue, which made it popular with drug addicts. Elevated concentrations of toluene vapor also have a harmful effect on the human nervous system, irritate the skin, as well as the mucous membranes of the eyes. Being a highly toxic poison, it affects the function of the body's hematopoiesis. The result of impaired hematopoiesis are diseases such as cyanosis, hypoxia. There is toluene substance abuse, which also has a carcinogenic effect. Vapors penetrate through the respiratory organs or intact skin, cause damage to the nervous system (there is lethargy and disruption of the vestibular apparatus. Sometimes these processes are irreversible. Fire hazard: Highly flammable. Toluene belongs to class 3.1 flammable liquid with a flash point of less than +23 degrees C. Avoid open flames, sparks and smoking. A mixture of toluene vapor with air is explosive. |
Exercise | Calculate the molar mass of a gas whose density in air is 3.451. |
Decision | The relative molecular weight of air is taken equal to 29 (taking into account the content of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases in the air). It should be noted that the concept of "relative molecular weight of air" is used conditionally, since air is a mixture of gases. D air (gas) = M(gas) / M(air); M(gas) = M(air) × D air (gas); M(gas) = 29 × 3.451 = 100.079 g/mol. |
Answer | The molar mass of the gas is 100.079 g/mol. |
EXAMPLE 2
Exercise | Determine the molar mass of an unknown gas if equal volumes of this gas and chlorine under the same conditions have masses of 4.87 g and 1.53 g. |
Decision | The ratio of the mass of a given gas to the mass of another gas taken in the same volume, at the same temperature and the same pressure, is called the relative density of the first gas over the second. This value shows how many times the first gas is heavier or lighter than the second gas. D \u003d M 1 / M 2 or D \u003d m 1 / m 2. |
