Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The volume of the balloon that is filled with helium at sea level is to be determined when it floats at higher altitude.
Concept Introduction:
According to Boyle's law, the pressure of sample is inversely proportional to the volume of the sample at constant temperature and at constant mol of gas.
The volume is defined as the quantity of the three dimensional space which is occupied by the
(b)
Interpretation:
The volume of the balloon that is filled with helium at sea level is to be determined when it is placed in bath of the liquid nitrogen at
Concept Introduction:
According to Charles law, volume of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure and at constant mol of gas.
The volume is defined as the quantity of the three dimensional space which is occupied by the liquid, solid and gas.
(c)
Interpretation:
The volume of the balloon that is filled with helium at sea level is to be determined when it is placed inside a hyperbaric chamber at pressure of 2.5 atm.
Concept Introduction:
According to Boyle's law, the pressure of sample of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the sample of the gas.
The volume is defined as the quantity of the three dimensional space which is occupied by the liquid, solid and gas.
(d)
Interpretation:
The volume of the balloon that is filled with helium at sea level is to be determined when it is heated inside the microwave.

- Ammonia gas is synthesized by combining hydrogen and nitrogen: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) (a) If you want to produce 562 g of NH3, what volume of H2 gas, at 56 C and 745 mm Hg, is required? (b) Nitrogen for this reaction will be obtained from air. What volume of air, measured at 29 C and 745 mm Hg pressure, will be required to provide the nitrogen needed to produce 562 g of NH3? Assume the sample of air contains 78.1 mole % N2.arrow_forwardPyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardIf equal masses of O2 and N2 are placed in separate containers of equal volume at the same temperature, which of the following statements is true? If false, explain why it is false. (a) The pressure in the flask containing N2 is greater than that in the flask containing O2. (b) There are more molecules in the flask containing O2 than in the flask containing N2.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forward
