Interpretation:
Pressure of the gas when air trapped has been reduced to
Concept Introduction:
Pressure of an atmosphere can be measured through manometer by employing the relation as follows:

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- 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_forwardThe density of air at 20C and 1.00 atm is 1.205 g/L. If this air were compressed at the same temperature to equal the pressure at 50.0 m below sea level, what would be its density? Assume the barometric pressure is constant at 1.00 atm. The density of seawater is 1.025 g/cm3.arrow_forwardA sample of neon of mass 425 mg occupies 6.00 dm3 at 77 K. What pressure does it exert?arrow_forward
- What volume of water vapour (in L) will be produced during the production 178 L of hydrogen cyanide?Assume all reactant and product volumes are measured at 300 kPa and 1200 oC.arrow_forwardWhat is the root mean square speed (in m/s) of nitrogen at 26.3oC?arrow_forwardWhat is the mean free path (λ), in m, of Ar (σ=0.36 nm2) at a pressure of 131.7 Torr and 333.1 K?arrow_forward
- At sea level the composition of the atmosphere is approximately 80 per cent nitrogen and 20 per cent oxygen by mass. At what height above the surface of the Earth would the atmosphere become 90 per cent nitrogen and 10 per cent oxygen by mass? Assume that the temperature of the atmosphere is constant at 25 °C. What is the pressure of the atmosphere at that height?arrow_forward21.2b The best laboratory vacuum pump can generate a vacuum of about 1 nTorr. At 25°C and assuming that air consists of N2 molecules with a collision diameter of 395 pm, calculate (a) the mean speed of the molecules, (b) the mean free path, (c) the collision frequency in the gas.arrow_forwardWhat will be the density of CO2 in g/L at temperature 298 K, and 1 atm pressure?arrow_forward
