Experimental data shows that the atmosphere of planet X is composed of pure carbon dioxide, with the pressure on ground level being 700 Pa. The temperature of the atmosphere is also found to decrease linearly with elevation, such that the temperature drops 10 degrees Celsius for every 5m elevation. With the help of the data and equations below, estimate the pressure 50m above ground level. Assume that the temperature at the surface of Planet X is (-60) degrees Celsius. dp/p + gM/RT(dZ) = 0 for planet B, g =5.2m/s^2 N2 = 28 g/mol

Derive an expression that shows how the pressure of a gas inside an effusion oven (a heated chamber with a small hole in one wall) varies with time if the oven is not replenished as the gas escapes. Then show that t1/2, the time required for the pressure to decrease to half its initial value, is independent of the initial pressure. Hint: Start from the expression for the rate of effusion and rewrite it as a differential equation relating dp/dt to p; recall that pV = NkT can be used to relate the pressure to the number density.
SpaceX recently launched their Falcon Heavy rocket (Feb. 6, 2018). It is based on their existing Falcon 9 rocket. The Falcon 9 rocket has a first stage which is a 40 m high by 3.7 m diameter cylinder. This cylinder contains the fuel used to propel the rocket which consists of RP-1 (rocket propellant-1, high grade kerosene), and liquid oxygen, O2 (`). RP-1 is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons but let’s approximate it with a chemical composition of C12H26. The densities of the fuel are ρ (RP − 1) = 0.83 g cm3 ρ (liquid O2) = 1.141 g cm3 If the total volume available for the two tanks is contained in the 40 m high by 3.7 m diameter first stage, determine the volume of each individual tank that will provide the exact amount of RP-1 and oxygen for the reation (no limiting reagent) and take up the entire volume of the first stage. Here are some suggestions to guide you. 1. Write a balanced combustion reaction for C12H26 with O2. 2. Determine the ratio of the volumes of the individual RP-1…

An experiment is conducted in which a quantity of H2(g) is chemically generated in a closed headspace of volume V1 at absolute temperature T1, thereby raising the total pressure from Pa (the initial air pressure) to Pf (the total final pressure of H2(g) + air). Compose an algebraic expression for the volume (V2) that this sample of H2(g) would occupy if it were isolated (pure -- i.e. no air) at absolute temperature T2 and partial pressure P2. Note that your expression may contain no other variables than those given above, namely: V1, T1, T2, Pa, Pf, and P2. A) V2 = Now, suppose that the above experiment generated n mol of H2(g), that T2 = 0 °C and that P2 = 1 atm. Give the simple algebraic expression, in terms of V2 and n, which equates to the molar volume of H2(g) at STP. B) VM =

Molecules in a gas are being pumped through a vacuum system. Eventually the pressure drops low enough that the gas molecules collide with the chamber walls more than they do themselves. How can the pressure be further reduced? I. Add a secondary pump with a large inlet to capture as many randomly moving molecules as possible. II. Add a secondary pump and insure that once molecules enter it that they can't escape out the inlet.
One of the highest concentrations of peroxyacyl nitrates has been found in the Los Angeles (LA) basin at 30 ppbppb, reaching its peak at mid-afternoon. Most of the pollution in the LA basin is created in an area of only 3000 km2km2 and the pollution depth below the inversion layer is normally about 500 mm. This concentration was therefore found in 1500 km3km3 of air above Los Angeles. Peroxyacyl nitrates contain two relatively weak bonds that can be broken by low-energy photons. The weakest is the N−ON−O bond in the nitrate functional group of the molecule with a standard bond-dissociation energy of 201 kJ mol−1. What is the longest wavelength of a photon, in nanometres, that has enough energy to cause the photodissociation of the weakest bond. Assume all energy of the photon is efficiently used for the photodissociation.
