Concept Introduction:
An ideal gas contains a large number of randomly moving particles that are supposed to have perfectly elastic collisions among themselves. It is a theoretical concept. Gases that show perfect elastic collision are practically not possible. At higher
Here,
Empirical formula represents simplest positive integer ratio of atoms in the compound. It only gives proportions of elements in compound. Molecular formula consists of chemical symbols for the respective elements followed by numeric subscript that denotes the number of atom of each element present in molecule.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- You have an equimolar mixture of the gases SO2 and O2, along with some He, in a container fitted with a piston. The density of this mixture at STP is 1.924 g/L. Assume ideal behavior and constant temperature and pressure. a. What is the mole fraction of He in the original mixture? b. The SO2 and O2 react to completion to form SO3. What is the density of the gas mixture after the reaction is complete?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_forwardHydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a poisonous gas. It can be formed by the following reaction: H+(aq)+NaCN(s)HCN(g)+Na+(aq)What volume of 6.00 M HCl is required to react with an excess of NaCN to produce enough HCN to fill a room 12119 feet at a pressure of 0.987 atm and 72F?arrow_forward
