Methyl alcohol can be used as a fuel instead of, or combined with, gasoline. A sample of methyl alcohol, in a flask of constant volume exerts a pressure of 254 mm Hg at The flask is slowly cooled.

(a) Assuming no condensation, use the ideal gas law to calculate the pressure of the vapor at

(b) Compare your answers in (a) with the equilibrium vapor pressures of methyl alcohol: 203 mm Hg at

(c) On the basis of your answers to (a) and (b), predict the pressure exerted by the methyl alcohol in the flask at

(d) What physical states of methyl alcohol are present in the flask at
