Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- 5-107 If 60.0 g of NH3 occupies 35.1 L under a pressure of 77.2 in. Hg, what is the temperature of the gas, in °C?arrow_forwardWhat is the value of FP for a sample of gas whose temperature is -33.0 C and volume is 0.0250 L? What temperature is required to change the volume to 66.9 cm3?arrow_forwardThe compression ratio in an automobile engine is the ratio of the gas pressure at the end of the compression stroke to the pressure in the beginning. Assume that compression occurs at constant temperature. The total volume of the cylinder in an automobile is 350 cm3, and the displacement the reduction in volume during the compression stroke is 309 cm3. What is the compression ratio in that engine?arrow_forward
- What is the value of the ideal gas constant R if the volume is specified in milliliters rather than liters?arrow_forwardUnder what conditions does the behavior of a real gas begin to differ significantly from the ideal gas law?arrow_forwardExplain why the plot of PV for CO2 differs from that of an ideal gas.arrow_forward
- 5-114 Carbon dioxide gas, saturated with water vapor, can be produced by the addition of aqueous acid to calcium carbonate based on the following balanced net ionic equation: (a) How many moles of wet CO (g), collected at 60.°C and 774 torr total pressure, are produced by the complete reaction of 10.0 g of CaCO3 with excess acid? (b) What volume does this wet CO2 occupy? (c) What volume would the CO2 occupy at 774 torr if a desiccant (a chemical drying agent) were added to remove the water? The vapor pressure of water at 60.°C is 149.4 mm Hg.arrow_forwardThe gas in the discharge cell of a laser contains (in mole percent) 11% CO2, 5.3% N2, and 84% He. (a) What is the molar mass of this mixture? (b) Calculate the density of this gas mixture at 32C and 758 mm Hg. (c) What is the ratio of the density of this gas to that of air (MM=29.0g/mol)at the same conditions?arrow_forwardIf 456 dm3 of krypton at 101 kPa and 21C is compressed into a 30.1-dm3 tank at the same temperature, what is the pressure of krypton in the tank?arrow_forward
- A sample of natural gas is 85.2% methane, CH4, and 14.8% ethane, C2H6, by mass. What is the density of this mixture at 18C and 771 mmHg?arrow_forwardTarget check For each of the macroscopic charcateristics unique to the gas phase of matter described in section 4.1-a compressibility, b expandability, c low density, d may be mixed in a fixed volume, and e uniform, constant pressure on container walls-describe how a postulate of the kinetic molecular theory explains the reason for the characteristic.arrow_forward5-54 Automobile air bags are inflated by nitrogen gas. When a significant collision occurs, an electronic sensor triggers the decomposition of sodium azide to form nitrogen gas and sodium metal. The nitrogen gas then inflates nylon bags, which protect the driver and front-seat passenger from impact with the dashboard and windshield. What volume of nitrogen gas measured at 1 atm and 27°C is formed by the decomposition of 100. g of sodium azide?arrow_forward
