Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The change in temperature of a container containing a sample of carbon dioxide gas when the volume is reduced to
Concept Introduction:
Boyle’s law: According to Boyle’s law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at a given temperature.
Where,
P = Pressure
V = Volume
Charles law: According to Charles law, temperature and volume are directly proportional to each other at a constant pressure.
Where,
T = Temperature
V = Volume.

- As weather balloons rise from the earths surface, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less, tending to cause the volume of the balloons to expand. However, the temperatura is much lower in the upper atmosphere than at sea level. Would this temperatura effect tend to make such a balloon expand or contract? Weather balloons do, in fact, expand as they rise. What does this tell you?arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardA balloon filled with helium gas is found to take 6 hours to deflate to 50% of its original volume. How long will it take for an identical balloon filled with the same volume of hydrogen gas (instead of helium) to decrease its volume by 50%?arrow_forward
- Nitroglycerin decomposes into four different gases when detonated: 4 C3H5(NO3)3() 6 N2(g) + O2(g) + 12 CO2(g) + 10 H2O(g) The detonation of a small quantity of nitroglycerin produces a total pressure of 4.2 atm at a temperature of 450 C. (a) What is the partial pressure of N2? (b) If the gases occupy a volume of 1.5 L, what mass of nitroglycerin was detonated?arrow_forwardA cylinder is filled with 10.0 L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 113. kPa. The piston is now pulled up, expanding the gas, until the gas has a final volume of 20.0 L. Calculate the final pressure of the gas. Be sure your answer haş the correct number of significant digits. piston cylinder gas olo Ar ||kPa x10arrow_forward[References] A steel cylinder contains 5.00 moles graphite (pure carbon) and 5.00 moles O2. The mixture is ignited and all the graphite reacts. Combustion produces a mixture of CO gas and CO2 gas. After the cylinder has cooled to its original temperature, it is found that the pressure of the cylinder has increased by 40.0%. Calculate the mole fractions of CO, CO2, and O2 in the final gaseous mixture.

- A micro-syringe has a maximum volume of 50 mL. A chemical reaction known to generate methane gas is sampled using the syringe twice. The first sample with a volume of 10.0 mL was determined to contain 5.98 x 10-7 moles of methane gas. If a second sample of 25.0 mL was taken, with the reaction at the same temperature and pressure, how many moles of gas are in the 25.0 mL sample?arrow_forwardThe stopcock connecting a 1.10 L bulb containing carbon dioxide gas at a pressure of 3.72 atm, and a 6.01 L bulb containing methane gas at a pressure of 1.32 atm, is opened and the gases are allowed to mix. Assuming that the temperature remains constant, the final pressure in the system is atm.arrow_forwardA cylinder is filled with 10.0 L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 214. kPa. The piston is now pushed down, compressing the gas, until the gas has a final volume of 6.60 L. Calculate the final pressure of the gas. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. piston olo cylinder gas Ar I kPa x10arrow_forward
- 6arrow_forwardIdentify the statement that describes Dalton's law of partial pressures. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the difference between the partial pressures of the individual gases. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the quotient of the partial pressures of the individual gases. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the product of the partial pressures of the individual gases. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases has no relation to the partial pressures of the individual gases.
