61 As one step in its purification, nickel metal reacts with carbon monoxide to form a compound called nickel tetracarbonyl, Ni(CO)4, which is a gas at temperature above about 316 K. A 2.000-L flask is filled with CO gas to a pressure of 748 torr at 350.0 K, and then 5.00 g of Ni is added. If the reaction describe occurs and goes to completion at constant temperature, what will the final pressure in the falsk be?

In a typical automobile engine, a gasoline vapor-air mixture is compressed and ignited in the cylinders of the engine. This results in a combustion reaction that produces mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. For simplicity, assume that the fuel is C8H18 and has a density of 0.760 g/mL. (a) Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and 02 in the air before it goes into the cylinder; assume the atmospheric pressure is 734 mmHg. (b) Consider the case where the air, without any fuel added, is compressed in the cylinder to seven times atmospheric pressure, the compression ratio of many modem automobile engines. Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and O2 at this pressure. (c) Now consider the case where 0.050 mL gasoline is added to the air in the cylinder just before compression and completely vaporized. Assume that the volume of the cylinder is 485 mL and the temperature is 150C. Calculate the partial pressure of the gasoline vapor. (d) Calculate the amount (mol) of oxygen required to bum the gasoline in part (c) completely to CO2 and H2O. (e) The combustion reaction in the cylinder creates temperatures in excess of 1200K. Due to the high temperature, some of the nitrogen and oxygen in the air reacts to form nitrogen monoxide. If 10% of the nitrogen is converted to NO, calculate the mass (g) of NO produced by this combustion. (f) Hot-rod cars use another oxide of nitrogen, dinitrogen monoxide, to create an extra burst in power. When such a power boost is needed, dinitrogen monoxide gas is injected into the cylinders where it reacts with oxygen to form NO. Calculate the mass of dinitrogen monoxide that would have to be injected to form the same quantity of NO as produced in part (e). Assume that sufficient oxygen is present to do so.
Calculate the molar volume of ethane at 1.00 atm and 0C and at 10.0 atm and 0C, using the van der Waals equation. The van der Waals constants are given in Table 5.7. To simplify, note that the term n2a/V2 is small compared with P. Hence, it may be approximated with negligible error by substituting nRT/P from the ideal gas law for V in this term. Then the van der Waals equation can be solved for the volume. Compare the results with the values predicted by the ideal gas law.
99 Pure gaseous nitrogen dioxide (NO2) cannot be obtained, because NO2dimerizes, or combines with itself, to produce a mixture of NO2 and N2O4. A particular mixture of NO2, and N2O4 has a density of 2.39 g/L at 50°C and 745 torr. What is the partial pressure of NO2 in this mixture?
