- The Berthelot equation of state for one mole of gas is p=RTV-b-aTV2 Where a and b are constants determined experimentally. For NH3g, a = 741.6 atm. L2. K and b = 0.0139 L. Calculate p when V=22.41L and T = 273.15K. How much does the pressure vary from p as predicted by the ideal gas law?arrow_forwardCarbon monoxide poisoning results when carbon monoxide replaces oxygen bound to hemoglobin. The oxygenated form of hemoglobin, HbO2 carries O2 to the lungs. HbO2(aq)+CO(g)HbCO(aq)+O2(g) At 98.6°F (37°C), G° for the reaction is about -14 kJ. What is the ratio of [HbO2] to [HbCO] when the pressure of CO is the same as that of O2?arrow_forwardWhich of the following quantities can be taken to be independent of temperature? independent of pressure?

- When two cotton plugs. one moistened with ammonia and the other with hydrochloric acid, are simultaneously inserted into opposite ends of a glass tube that is 87.0 cm long, a white 1111g of NH4Cl forms where gaseous NH3 and gaseous HC1 first come into contact. NH3(g)+HCl(g)NH4Cl(s) At approximately what distance from the ammonia moistened plug does this occur? (Hint: Calculate the rates of diffusion for both NH3 and HCI, and find out how much faster NH3 diffuses than HCI.)arrow_forwardOn complete combustion at constant pressure, a 1.00-L sample of a gaseous mixture at 0C and 1.00 atm (STP) evolves 75.65 kJ of heat. If the gas is a mixture of ethane (C2H6) and propane (C3H8), what is the mole fraction of ethane in the mixture?arrow_forwardSulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steelmaking to plastics and pharmaceuticals. More sulfuric acid is made than any other industrial chemical, and world production exceeds 2.0 x 1011 kg per year. The first step in the synthesis of sulfuric acid is usually burning solid sulfur to make sulfur dioxide gas. Suppose an engineer studying this reaction introduces 1.1kg of solid sulfur and 10.0atm of oxygen gas at 350.°C into an evacuated 45.0L tank. The engineer believes Kp=0.033 for the reaction at this temperature. Calculate the mass of solid sulfur he expects to be consumed when the reaction reaches equilibrium. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken in his belief about the value of Kp, and the consumption of sulfur you calculate may not be what he actually observes.arrow_forward
- 4a Assume that worldwide combustion of fossil fuel accounts for an energy use of 500 x 1015 kJ/year. Also, assume that all fossil fuels can be represented by the formula C3H5 with energy content of 32,500 kJ/kg.Finally, assume that air is 79% N2 and 21% O2 , and has a molecular weight of 29 kg/kmol. i. Estimate the annual release of CO2 to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, in kg/yr ii. If all that CO2 entered the atmosphere (and none was removed), estimate the increase in atmospheric concentration, in ppm by volume. Assume the atmosphere contains 6.7 x 1018 kg of air.arrow_forwardGaseous iodine pentafluoride, IF5, can be prepared by thereaction of solid iodine and gaseous fluorine:I21s2 + 5 F21g2¡2 IF51g2A 5.00-L flask containing 10.0 g of I2 is charged with10.0 g of F2, and the reaction proceeds until one ofthe reagents is completely consumed.

When heated at 200oC, it decomposes to a variety of gases, with the most important being N2(g), Cl2(g), O2(g), and H2O (g). Write a balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of NH4ClO4, assuming that only the products listed above are generated. The sudden appearance of hot gaseous products in a small initial volume leads to a rapid increase in pressure and temperature, which give the rockets its thrust. What total pressure of gas would be produced at 800 oC by igniting 7.00x105 kg of NH4ClO4 and allowing it to expand to a volume of 6.4x106L? (assume ideal gas behavior). Calculate the molar fraction of Cl2 and its partial pressure.arrow_forward
