Three flasks (a)–(c) contain gases A (red) and B (green). (i) If the pressure in (a) is 4.0 atm, what are the pressures in (b) and (c)? (ii) Calculate the total pressure and partial pressure of each gas after the valves are opened. The volumes of (a) and (c) are 4.0 L each and that of (b) is 2.0 L. The temperature is the same throughout.
(a)
Interpretation:
The pressures in valves (b) and (c) has to be calculated.
Answer to Problem 5.168QP
The partial pressures in valves (b) and (c) is
Explanation of Solution
Bulb (b) contains the same number of particles as (a), but is half the volume. The pressure will be double that of A.
The volume of bulb (c) is the same as bulb (a), but there are
(b)
Interpretation:
The total pressure and partial pressure of each gas after the valves are opened has to be calculated.
Answer to Problem 5.168QP
The total pressure in the container is the sum of the partial pressures is
The partial pressure is
Explanation of Solution
The valves are opened at constant temperature, the gases expand to fill the entire container. In bulb (a), the pressure before opening the valve is
Given data,
Given data,
Given data,
The total pressure in the container is the sum of the partial pressures
There are 15 particles of gas A and 15 particles of gas B in the container. Therefore, the partial pressure of each gas will be half the total pressure of

- A typical barometric pressure in Kansas City is 740 torr. What is this pressure in atmospheres, in millimeters of mercury, and in kilopascals?arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forwardThe following figure shows three 1.00-L bulbs connected by valves. Each bulb contains argon gas with amounts proportional to the number of circles pictorially represented in the chamber. All three bulbs are maintained at the same temperature. Unless stated otherwise, assume that the valves connecting the bulbs are closed and seal the gases in their respective chambers. Assume also that the volume between each bulb is negligible. (a) Which bulb has the highest pressure? (b) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the pressure in bulb C? (c) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the total pressure? (d) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 arm, and the valve between bulbs A and B is opened, redraw the figure shown above to accurately represent the gas atoms in all three bulbs. What is P A+P B+P C? Compare your answer in part (d) to that in part (c). (e) Follow the instructions of part (d) but now open only the valve between bulbs B and C.arrow_forward
- Raoul Pictet, the Swiss physicist who first liquefied oxygen, attempted to liquefy hydrogen. He heated potassium formate, KCHO2, with KOH in a closed 2.50-Lvessel. KCHO2(s)+KOH(s)K2CO3(s)+H2(g) If 75.0 g of potassium formate reacts in a 2.50-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of hydrogen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.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_forwardYou 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_forward
