Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Partial pressure of argon gas in mixture has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Dolton’s law of partial pressure gives relation between total pressure of mixture of gases and partial pressure of individual gases. The expression of relation can be represented as follows:
Here,
A and B are individual gases.
Mole fraction is a relation between moles of constituent and total moles of all constituent in mixture. The expression of relation can be represented as follows:
Here,
(b)
Interpretation:
Total pressure of gas has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- How does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardGiven that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardYou have two pressure-proof steel cylinders of equal volume, one containing 1.0 kg of CO and the other containing 1.0 kg of acetylene, C2H2. (a) In which cylinder is the pressure greater at 25 C? (b) Which cylinder contains the greater number of molecules?arrow_forward
- Pyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardIf an electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride, elemental chlorine gas is generated as the sodium chloride is decomposed. :math>2NaCl(1)2Na(s)+Cl2(g) at volume of chlorine gas measured at 767 mm Hg at 25 °C would be generated by complete decomposition of 1.25 g of NaCl?arrow_forwardIf the rms speed of He atoms in the exosphere (highest region of the atmosphere) is 3.53 103 m/s, what is the temperature (in kelvins)?arrow_forward
- A mixture contained zinc sulfide, ZnS, and lead sulfide, PbS. A sample of the mixture weighing 6.12 g was reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The reactions are ZnS(s)+2HCL(aq)ZnCl2(aq)+H2S(g)PbS(s)+2HCL(aq)PbCl2(aq)+H2S(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.049 L of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, at 23C and 762 mmHg, what were the percentages of ZnS and PbS in the mixture?arrow_forwardA mixture contained calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. A sample of this mixture weighing 7.85 g was reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The reactions are CaCO3(g)+2HCL(aq)CaCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)MgCO3(s)+2HCL(aq)MgCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.94 L of carbon dioxide, CO2, at 25C and 785 mmHg, what were the percentages of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in the mixture?arrow_forwardA sample of 3.42 mol of xenon is confined at low pressure in a volume at a temperature of 86 °C. Describe quantitatively the effects of each of the following changes on the pressure, the average kinetic energy per molecule in the gas, and the root-mean-square speed. (a) The temperature is increased to 199 °C (b) The volume is tripled. (c) The amount of xenon is decreased to 1.87 mol Give each answer as a decimal factor of the form: new value factor old value. A factor of 1 means no change. ChangeP KEavgmsarrow_forward

(Hint: Appendix D shows the molar mass (in g>mol) of each element under the chemical symbol for that element.)arrow_forwardIn 1783, the French physicist Jacques Charles supervisedand took part in the first human flight in a hydrogen balloon. Such balloons rely on the low density of hydrogenrelative to air for their buoyancy. In Charles’s balloonascent, the hydrogen was produced (together with iron(II)sulfate) from the action of aqueous sulfuric acid on ironfilings.(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.(b) What volume of hydrogen is produced at 300 K and a pressure of 1.0 atm when 300 kg sulfuric acid is consumed in this reaction?(c) What would be the radius of a spherical balloon filled by the gas in part (b)?arrow_forwardGiven the following reaction of Ca(s) in HCl(aq): Ca(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> CaCl2(aq) + H2(g) If 32.7g of calcium solid are placed in this reaction and at the end of the experiment, hydrogen gas is produced at 25.000C and with a pressure of 790. mmHg.
