- A sample of natural gas is 85.2% methane, CH4, and 14.8% ethane, C2H6, by mass. What is the density of this mixture at 18C and 771 mmHg?arrow_forwardA sample of a breathing mixture for divers contained 34.3% helium, He; 51.7% nitrogen, N2; and 14.0% oxygen, O2 (by mass). What is the density of this mixture at 22C and 775 mmHg?arrow_forwardThe compression ratio in an automobile engine is the ratio of the gas pressure at the end of the compression stroke to the pressure in the beginning. Assume that compression occurs at constant temperature. The total volume of the cylinder in an automobile is 350 cm3, and the displacement the reduction in volume during the compression stroke is 309 cm3. What is the compression ratio in that engine?arrow_forward
- At what temperature will a molecule of uranium hexafluoride, the densest gas known, have the same average speed as a molecule of the lightest gas, hydrogen, at 37C?arrow_forwardWhat is the density of laughing gas, dinitrogen monoxide, N2O, at a temperature of 325 K and a pressure of 113.0 kPa?arrow_forwardAmmonium chloride, NH4Cl, is a while solid. When heated to 325C, it gives a vapor that is a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen chloride. NH4Cl(s)NH3(g)+HCl(g) Suppose someone contends that the vapor consists of NH4Cl molecules rather than a mixture of NH3 and HCl. Could you decide between these alternative views on the basis of gas-density measurements? Explain.arrow_forward
