Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The pressure
Concept Introduction:
The conversion of one unit into another can be done by a proper conversion factor. Conversion factors are the ratios that relate the two different units of a quantity. It is also known as dimensional analysis or factor label method.
In the unit conversion problems, the given information is multiplied by the conversion factors to obtain the desired information. The unit conversion can be done as follows:

- Given 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_forwardWhat possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forwardA sample of volume 18.3 L has a mass of 57.9 g.(a) Is the material gaseous or condensed?(b) If the molar mass of the material is 123 g mol-1 , calculate its molar volume.arrow_forward
- A flask contains a mixture of neon (Ne), krypton (Kr), and radon (Rn) gases. Compare (a) the average kinetic energies of the three types of atoms and (b) the root-mean-square speeds. (Hint: Appendix D shows the molar mass (in g>mol) of each element under the chemical symbol for that element.)arrow_forwardA student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based on experimentally collected data, the student calculates R to equal L'atm 0.0832 mol·K L'atm Ideal gas law constant from literature: 0.08206 mol·K (a) Determine the percent error for the student's R-value. Percent error =|1.389 (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it.arrow_forwardA sample of 3.73 mol of argon is confined at low pressure in a volume at a temperature of 61 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 177 °C. (b) The volume is tripled. (c) The amount of argon is decreased to 1.96 mol. Give each answer as a decimal factor of the form: new value = factor old value. A factor of 1 means no change. Change KEavg Urms (а) (b) (c)arrow_forward
- The vapor pressure of mercury at 20 oC is 1.7 x 10-6 atm. Your lab partner breaks a mercury thermometer and spills most of the mercury onto the floor. The dimensions of the laboratory are 16.0 m x 8.0 m x 3.0 m (l x w x h). At 20 oC, calculate the mass (in grams) of the mercury vapor in the room. Determine if the concentration of mercury vapor exceeds air quality regulations of 5.0 x 10-2 mg/m3. How would you clean up this spell?arrow_forwardQ1 (a) 3.2 g of sulphur was produced in a reaction between 6.0 L of hydrogen sulfide gas with excess an amount of sulphur dioxide.
