Chapter 20, Problem 3PS
In the discussion on the composition of air, mention is made of the fact that water vapor may have a concentration as high as 40,000 ppm. Calculate the partial pressure exerted by water vapor at this concentration. Assume that this represents a situation with 100% humidity. What temperature would be needed to achieve this value? (See Appendix G.)

Humidity is the percentage of partial pressure of water in air over the total possible water in the air. On the first day of the spring semester the humidity was 72%, but it did not feel humid outside. Calculate the partial pressure of water in air at this time and justify why it did not feel humid. You may find it helpful to compare the first day of the spring semester to the first day of the fall semester, where the humidity was 89% on the first day of class.
The decomposition of 30.354 g of potassium chlorate yields solid potassium chloride and oxygen gas that is collected at 27.05°C and a pressure of 1.075 atm. The value for the gas constant, R, is 0.08206 L•atm/mol•K.
Write a balanced equation for the reaction.
What volume of oxygen gas is collected in this decomposition reaction?
What mass of potassium chlorate needs to decompose in order to produce 11.889 L of oxygen gas collected at the same temperature and pressure as the original experiment?
The atmosphere is a highly complex gaseous mixture that sustains life on Earth. Approximately 99% of the air is composed of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2). The remaining 1% is made up of a variety of other gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and ammonia (NH3), among many others. Because most of the gases that comprise the atmosphere are present at very low levels (<0.002%), their quantities are often expressed in parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) rather than as a percent.
Ozone (O3) is found in the troposphere at 2.5×10−6%. Convert this value to parts per million.
[O3]= _______ ppm
The atmosphere contains 2.9×10−7%2.9×10−7% nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Convert this value to parts per billion.
[NO2]= _______ ppb
Atmospheric methane (CH4) is present at 1983 ppb. Convert this value to a percentage.
[CH4]= _______ %

- Each sketch below shows a flask with some gas and a pool of mercury in it. The gas is at a pressure of 1 atm. A J-shaped tube is connected to the bottom of the flask, and the mercury can freely flow in or out of this tube. (You can assume that there is so much more mercury in the pool than can fit into the tube that even if the J-tube is completely filled, the level of mercury in the pool won't change.) Notice also that in the left sketch the J-tube is open at its other end, so that air from the atmosphere can freely flow. On the other hand, in the right sketch the J-tube is closed at its other end, and you should assume there is no gas between the mercury and the closed end of the tube. To answer this question, you must decide what the mercury level will be when the mercury finally stops flowing in or out of the tube. By moving the sliders back and forth, you'll see different levels of mercury in the J-tube.

- The atmosphere of Mars is 96% CO2, with a pressure of approximately 6 * 10−3 atm at the surface. Based on measurements taken over a period of several years by the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), the average daytime temperature at the REMS location on Mars is –5.7 °C (22 °F), while the average nighttime temperature is –79 °C (–109 °F).

This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete - the lime absorbs CO₂ from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 500. L and heated to 520.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO, has topped changing, it is found that 7.69 kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO, and CaO at 520.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for K does not match the accepted value.
