3. An investigator is told that a closed vessel holds a pure rare gas. She measures the density of the gas in the vessel at 298 K and 1 atm pressure and finds it to be 0.8252 g/L. a. If she assumes that the vessel contains a pure gas, what gas does the investigator think is in the vessel? b. After turning in her report, she is told that the vessel actually contains a mixture of He and Ar. What percentage of the gas in the container is He?

You have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.
You have a 550.-mL tank of gas with a pressure of 1.56 atm at 24 C. You thought the gas was pure carbon monoxide gas, CO, but you later found it was contaminated by small quantities of gaseous CO2 and O2. Analysis shows that the tank pressure is 1.34 atm (at 24 C) if the CO2 is removed. Another experiment shows that 0.0870 g of O2 can be removed chemically. What are the masses of CO and CO2 in the tank, and what is the partial pressure of each of the three gases at 25 C?
Pressures of gases in mixtures are referred to as partial pressures and are additive. 1.00 L of He gas at 0.75 atm is mixed with 2.00 L of Ne gas at 1.5 atm at a temperature of 25.0 C to make a total volume of 3.00 L of a mixture. Assuming no temperature change and that He and Ne can be approximated as ideal gases, what are a the total resulting pressure, b the partial pressures of each component, and c the mole fractions of each gas in the mix?
You have an equimolar mixture of the gases SO2 and O2, along with some He, in a container fitted with a piston. The density of this mixture at STP is 1.924 g/L. Assume ideal behavior and constant temperature and pressure. a. What is the mole fraction of He in the original mixture? b. The SO2 and O2 react to completion to form SO3. What is the density of the gas mixture after the reaction is complete?
