In this lab, you will start off by calculating the number of moles of air molecules inside a flask containing 20 mL of water by cooling the flask down to near 0°C and assuming the vapour pressure of water is negligible at that temperature. If the volume of the air inside the flask is 148.4 mL, the gas pressure sensors reads 98.4 kPa and the temperature sensor reads 1.3 °C, how many moles of air are present in the flask? Express your answer in mol. Assume R = 8.314 J mol-¹ K-¹. Answer:

Q1a-> A sample of hydrogen (H₂) gas was collected over water at 60°C. If the total volume of gas collected was 53.9 mL and the atmospheric pressure was 1.14 bar, what mass (in g) of hydrogen gas was collected above the water? The vapour pressure of water at 60°C is 150 torr. Q1b=> What is the molar mass (in g mol-¹) of a gas which has a density of 1.91 g/L at a pressure of 0.91 bar and temperature 15.3°C? Your answer may not correspond to an actual gas. Do not try to identify the gas.
In the study of the vapour pressure of chloroform is determined. Chloroform is placed in a container and allowed to reach a temperature op 28C. A vacuum is then created at which point the chloroform start to boil. The pressure and temperature are recorded. Subsequently the vacuum is gradually reduced by allowing a small amount of air into the vessel, thereby increasing the pressure in the vessel. At each of these higher pressures, the solution is heated and till it boils again and the temperature point and pressure is recorded at which the solution boils. This is repeated until the vessel reaches room pressure. What is the dependent and independent variable?
What mass of H2 gas can be collected over water from a 250-mL flask at a temperature of 25ºC and a pressure of 105.325 kPa? (The vapour pressure of H2O at these conditions is 3.169 kPa.)
Describe the changes that would be observed when water vapour at 1.0 bar and 400 K is cooled at constant pressure to 260 K. Suggest the appearance of a plot of temperature against time if energy is removed at a constant rate. To judge the relative slopes of the cooling curves, you need to know that the constant-pressure molar heat capacities of water vapour, liquid, and solid are approximately 4R, 9R, and 4.5R; the enthalpies of fusion and vaporization areΔfusHΘ = 6.01 kJ mol-1, and ΔvapHΘ = 40.7 kJ mol-1 at the appropriatetransition temperatures.

The Clausius- Clapeyron equation on the assumption that the enthalpy of vaporization is independent of temperature in the range of interest. (a) Theenthalpy of vaporization of water is 40.656 kJ mol-1 at its normal boiling temperature, 373 K. Assuming that the enthalpy of vaporization does not vary with temperature, calculate the vapour pressure of water at 308 K. (b) Derive an improved version of the equation on the basis that the enthalpy of vaporization has the form ΔvapH =a+ bT. (c) For water in the range298- 373 K, a= 57.373 kJ mol-1 and b = -44.801 J K-1 mol- 1. Use your improved version of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to calculate a more reliable value for the vapour pressure of water at 308 K.
