(a)
Interpretation:
The pressure of oxygen gas measuring
Concept introduction:
Pressure is expressed as force exerted per unit area. Pressure of gas is measured by the pressure a gas exerts on the walls of its container. There are various units present to measure pressure of a gas. For example, millimeters of mercury, pounds per square inch,

EBK INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
- A typical barometric pressure in Denver, Colorado, is 615 mm Hg. What is this pressure in atmospheres and kilopascals?arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forwardAs 1 g of (lie radioactive element radium decays over 1 year. k produces 1.161018 alpha particles (helium nuclei). Each alpha particle becomes an atom of helium gas. What is the pressure ¡n pascal of the helium gas produced if it occupies a volume of 125 mL at a temperature of 25 C?arrow_forward
- 113 A 0.0125-g sample of a gas with an empirical formula of CHF2 is placed in a 165-mL flask. It has a pressure of 13.7 mm Hg at 22.5°C. What is the molecular formula of the compound?arrow_forwardA sample of a compound of xenon and fluorine was confined in a bulb with a pressure of 18 tor. Hydrogen was added to the bulb until the pressure was 72 torr. Passage of an electric spark through the mixture produced Xe and HF. After the HF was removed by reaction with solid KOH, the final pressure of xenon and unreacted hydrogen in the bulb was 36 torr. What is the empirical formula of the xenon fluoride in the original sample? (Note: Xenon fluorides contain only one xenon atom per molecule.)arrow_forwardAmmonium nitrate can be used as an effective explosive because it decomposes into a large number of gaseous products. At a sufficiently high temperature, ammonium nitrate decomposes into nitrogen, oxygen, and steam. (a) Write a balanced net ionic equation for the decomposition of ammonium nitrate. (b) If 2.00 kg of ammonium nitrate are sealed in a 50.0-L steel drum and heated to 745C, what is the resulting pressure in the drum after decomposition? (Assume 100% decomposition.)arrow_forward
- Potassium peroxide is used to absorb the CO2 produced by the people in a space vehicle. 2K2O2(s)+2CO2(g)2K2CO3(s)+O2(g)If a person at rest exhales 3.0 L of air per minute and CO2 is 3.4% (by volume) of exhaled air, how many grams of K2O2 are needed per person for a five-day trip. Assume a temperature of 250 and 728 mm Hg pressure.arrow_forward59 During a collision, automobile air bags are inflated by the N2 gas formed by the explosive decomposition of sodium azide, NaN3: 2NaN32Na+3N2 What mass of sodium azide would be needed to inflate a 30.0-L bag to a pressure of 1.40 atm at 25 C?arrow_forwardA 0.105-g sample of a gaseous compound has a pressure of 561 mm Hg in a volume of 125 mL at 23.0 C. What is its molar mass?arrow_forward
