AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether the vapor temperature in a molar mass experiment of a volatile liquid matches the boiling water bath temperature. It emphasizes the need for detailed information about the specific experimental setup to provide accurate insights. The conversation highlights that various methods exist for determining the molar mass of a volatile liquid, indicating that the approach taken can influence results. Without clarity on the experiment's design, definitive conclusions cannot be drawn. Understanding the experimental context is crucial for accurate interpretation of temperature relationships.

In the Molar mass of a Volatile liquid experiment does the temperature of the vapor equals the temperature of the boiling water bath?

We can not help unless we know what the experiment involves. Just telling us the title that was given to the experiment in your lab does not tell us anything about the experiment. There are dozens of different ways of finding the molar mass of a volatile liquid (if that's what you had to do - again, I'm guessing).

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
