Interpretation:
The total gas pressure in atm should be calculated in the flask at temperature 25 degree Celsius when
Concept introduction:
The thermal decomposition of solid ammonium nitrate forms two gaseous products that aredinitrogen oxide and water vapor. The total pressure of gaseous product can be calculated with the help of ideal gas equation and the moles of gaseous product are calculated from the mole concept.

- A collapsed balloon is filled with He to a volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 1.00 atm. Oxygen, O2, is then added so that the final volume of the balloon is 26 L with a total pressure of 1.00 atm. The temperature, which remains constant throughout, is 21.5 C. (a) What mass of He does the balloon contain? (b) What is the final partial pressure of He in the balloon? (c) What is the partial pressure of O2 in the balloon? (d) What is the mole fraction of each gas?arrow_forwardA chemist weighed out 5.14 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and CaO(s) and placed the sample in a 1.50-L flask containing CO2(g) at 30.0C and 750. torr. After the reaction to form BaCO3(s) and CaCO3(s) was completed, the pressure of CO2(g) remaining was 230. torr. Calculate the mass percentages of CaO(s) and BaO(s) in the mixture.arrow_forwardWorkers at a research station in the Antarctic collected a sample of air to test for airborne pollutants. They collected the sample in a 1.00-L container at 764 torr and 20 C. Calculate the pressure in the container when it was opened for analysis in a particulate-free clean room in a laboratory in South Carolina, at a temperature of 22 C.arrow_forward
- One way to synthesize diborane, B2H6, is the reaction 2 NaBH4(s) + 2 H3PO4() B2H6(g) + 2 NaH2PO4(s) + 2 H2(g) (a) If you have 0.136 g of NaBH4 and excess H3PO4, and you collect the resulting B2H6 in a 2.75-L flask at 25 C, what is the pressure of the B2H6 in the flask? (b) A by-product of the reaction is H2 gas. If both B2H6 and H2 gas come from this reaction, what is the total pressure in the 2.75-L flask (after reaction of 0.136 g of NaBH4 with excess H3PO4) at 25 C?arrow_forwardHydrogen gas is used in weather balloon because it is less expensive than Helium. Assume that 5.57 g of H2 is used to fill a weather balloon to an initial volume of 67 L at 1.04 atm. If the ballloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is 0.047 atm, what is its new volume? Assume that the temperature remains constant.arrow_forwardSulfur trioxide, SO3, is produced in enormous quantities each year for use in the synthesis of sulfuric acid.
