Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The apparatus has to be redrawn if the temperature is increased from
Concept introduction:
Charles’s law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held at constant pressure and number of molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
The apparatus has to be redrawn if the pressure is increased from
Concept introduction:
Boyle’s law:
At fixed temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
(c)
Interpretation:
The apparatus has to be redrawn if the temperature is decreased from
Concept introduction:
General Gas Law:
Combining Charles’s law and Boyle’s law we get the General gas law or combined gas law.

- A typical barometric pressure in Redding. California, is about 750 mm Hg. Calculate this pressure in atm and kPa.arrow_forwardA study of climbers who reached the summit of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen showed that the partial pressures of O2 and CO2 in their lungs were 35 mm Mg and 7.5 mm Hg, respectively. The barometric pressure at the summit was 253 mm Hg. Assume the lung gases are saturated with moisture at a body temperature of 37 C [which means the partial pressure of water vapor in the lungs is P(H2O) = 47.1 mm Hg]. If you assume the lung gases consist of only O2, N2, CO2, and H2O, what is the partial pressure of N2?arrow_forwardA 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_forward
- A piece of dry ice (CO2(s)) has a mass of 22.50 g. It is dropped into an evacuated 22.50-L flask. What is the pressure in the flask at -4C?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
