81. Consider a 1.0-L sample of helium gas and a 1.0-L sample of argon gas, both at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. a. Do the atoms in the helium sample have the same average kinetic energy as the atoms in the argon sample? b. Do the atoms in the helium sample have the same average velocity as the atoms in the argon sample? c. Do the argon atoms, because they are more massive, exert a greater pressure on the walls of the container? Explain. d. Which gas sample has the faster rate of effusion?

Consider a mixture of air and gasoline vapor in a cylinder with a piston. The original volume is 40. cm3. If the combustion of this mixture releases 950. J of energy, to what volume will the gases expand against a constant pressure of 650. torr if all the energy of combustion is converted into work to push back the piston?
Consider a sample containing 5.00 moles of a monatomic ideal gas that is taken from state A to state B by the following two pathways: For each step, assume that the external pressure is constant and equals the final pressure of the gas for that step. Calculate q, w, E and H for each step in kJ, and calculate overall values for each pathway. Explain how the overall values for the two pathways illustrate that E and H are state functions, whereas q and w are path functions. Hint: In a more rigorous study of thermochemistry, it can be shown that for an ideal gas: E=nCvTand H=nCpT where Cv is the molar heat capacity at constant volume and Cp is the molar heat capacity at constant pressure. In addition, for a monatomic ideal gas, Cv=32R andCp=52R , where R = 8.3145 J/K mol.
You heat 1.000 quart of water from 25.0C to its normal boiling point by burning a quantity of methane gas, CH4. What volume of methane at 23.0C and 745 mmHg would you require to heat this quantity of water, assuming that the methane is completely burned? The products are liquid water and gaseous carbon dioxide.
Butane gas, C4H10, is sold to campers as bottled fuel. Its density at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.38 g/L. What volume of butane gas at 25C and 1.00 atm is required to heat one gallon of water (d=1.00g/mL) from 25C to 98C ? The reaction for the combustion of butane (H f =125.6kJ/mol) is C4H10(g)+132 O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(g)
Hesss law is really just another statement of the first law of thermodynamics. Explain.
The reaction of 50 mL of acid and 50 mL of base described in Example 5.5 increased the temperature of the solution by 6.9 degrees C. How much would the temperature have increased if loo mL of acid and 100 mL of base had been used in the same calorimeter starting at the same temperature of 22.0 C? Explain your answer.
