Benzene, a known carcinogen, was once widely used as a solvent. A sample of benzene vapor in a flask of constant volume exerts a pressure of 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) to the equilibrium vapor pressures of benzene: 269 mm Hg at

(c) On the basis of your answers to (a) and (b), predict the pressure exerted by the benzene at
