Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mole fraction and partial pressures of every gas in a combination of gases are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Mole fraction is defined as the number of moles of a component divided by the total number of moles of a solution. It is a unit of concentration that is unitless expression.
The mole fraction of an individual gas for the combination of gas is the ratio of the moles of the individual gas with the total number of moles of combined gases.
Here,
Also, the mole fraction of an individual gas for the combination of gases can be calculated from the ratio of the partial pressure of the individual gas with the total pressure of the combined gases.
Here,

- Ideal Gas Law Plsss helpp A tank contains 2500 L of argon gas . The pressure is 13790 kPa and the temperature is 25°C. How many moles of argon are in the tank? It is not safe to put aerosol canisters in a campfire , because the pressure inside the canisters gets very high and they can explode . If I have a 1.0 liter canister that holds 2.0 moles of gas , and the campfire temperature is 14000 degrees * C , what is the pressure inside the canister? Suppose that an empty aerosol spray-paint can has a volume of 0.406 L and contains 0.025 mole of a propellant gas such as CO2 . What is the pressure of the gas at 25° C? A gas canister can tolerate internal pressures up to 210 atmospheres . If a 2.0 L canister holding 3.5 moles of gas is heated to 13500 degrees * C will the canister explode?arrow_forwardII. Solve the below problem 3) The pressure of an NH3 sample is 678 torr at 65 oC. Calculate the new temperature (in oC) when the pressure of the sample is increased to 962 torr, assuming V and n are kept constant.arrow_forwardHow much carbon dioxide gas (mole percent) is dissolved in a bottle of sparkling water if the manufacturer used a pressure of 2.68 atm in the bottling process at 25°C? HCO2inwater=1630atm and PsatH2O=3.166kPa at 25°C. Assume xH2O=1.arrow_forward
- Select the one incorrect statement about ideal gases.a. The total pressure of a mixture of non-reacting gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of all the gases in the mixture.b. The volumes of gases used or produced in a chemical reaction, and measured at the same temperature and pressure, can be expressed as the ratios of small, whole numbers.c. A plot of V against P will pass through the point P = 0, V = 0.d. A plot of V against T extrapolated to V = 0 for a gas will cross the T-axis at absolute zero.e. Equal volumes of two gases contain the same number of molecules, provided the pressure and temperature are the same.arrow_forwardWhat is the volume of a 4.000 L balloon of oxygen when the pressure is increased from 2.000 atm to 6.000 atm at a constant temperature of 25.00 oC ? This is a change in conditions problem, we need to define the variables: V1 = _____________ L T1 = _____________ K P1 = ____________ atm V2 = ? L T2 = _______________ K P2 = ______________ atm The problem doesn't mention the moles, n, thus the amount of moles was not changed and n1 = _____________. Constant volume means V1 = V2 The equation simplifies to P2 V2 P1 V1 P2 V2 P1 V1 __________ _______________ –––––– = –––––– –––––– = –––––– solving for V2 = ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– n2 T2 n1 T1 1 1 _________________ ______________…arrow_forwardThe air bags in automobiles were once inflated by nitrogen gas generated by the rapid decomposition of sodium azide, NaN3. If an air bag has a volume of 53.4 L and is to be filled with nitrogen gas at a pressure of 1.07 atm and a temperature of 23.7˚C, how many moles of NaN3 must decompose? You may assume the N2 behaves as an ideal gas. Answer sig figsarrow_forward

- A balloon has a volume of 4.7 L when sitting inside a warm building at 22.°C. When the balloon is taken outside to a temperature of 3.3°C, and the air inside the balloon is allowed to come to equilibrium with the outside air, what will be the volume of the balloon? Answer in L, assuming that the pressure in the balloon is 1 atm, both inside the building and outside in the cold air.arrow_forwardProblems1. The decomposition of ammonia gas (a process that occurs at high temperatures) is 2NH3(g) → N2(g) + H2(g)If a balloon was filled with 3.5 L of ammonia gas and all of the gas decomposed, what wouldbe the total volume of gas in the container?
