(b) Calculate the density of this gas mixture at 32C and 758 mm Hg. (c) What is the ratio of the density of this gas to that of air (MM=29.0g/mol)at the same conditions?arrow_forwardExhaled air contains 74.5% N2, 15.7% O2, 3.6% CO2, and 6.2% H2O (mole percent). (a) Calculate the molar mass of exhaled air. (b) Calculate the density of exhaled air at 37C and 757 mm Hg and compare the value you obtained with that of ordinary air (MM=29.0g/mol) under the same conditions.arrow_forward97 Homes in rural areas where natural gas service is not available often rely on propane to fuel kitchen ranges. The propane is stored as a liquid, and the gas to be burned is produced as the liquid evaporates. Suppose an architect has hired you to consult on the choice of a propane tank for such a new home. The propane gas consumed in 1.0 hour by a typical range burner at high power would occupy roughly 165 L at 25°C and 1.0 atm, and the range chosen by the client will have six burners. If the tank under consideration holds 500.0 gallons of liquid propane, what is the minimum number of hours it would take for the range to consume an entire tankful of propane? The density of liquid propane is 0.5077 kg/L.arrow_forward
