The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895. Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities. Their experimentally determined densities are:
Oxygen 1.42952 g/L
Nitrogen 1.25718 g/L
Air 1.29327 g/L
1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas. He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?
If a car is traveling at 43.0 miles per hour, contains 3 gallons of gas, and gets 22.5 miles per gallon, can it travel to a station 114.9 km away?
If so how many hours will it take? How much gas (if any) is left upon arrival?
If not, how far will it go before it runs out of gas? How much more gas would it need to reach the destination?
