5. At 320 K and 16 bar, the molar volume of ammonia, NH3, is about 10% less than that of an ideal gas. The best explanation for this observation is: (a) The volume of an NH3 molecule is significant at this concentration. (b) The volume of an NH3 molecule is smaller than that of an ideal gas. (c) At this temperature, a significant amount of NH3 decomposes to N₂ and H₂. (d) Intermolecular forces of attraction for NH3 become significant at this temperature and pressure.

When limestone (solid CaCO3) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete — the lime absorbs CO2 from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 550.L and heated to 700.0°C. When the amount of CaCO3 has stopped changing, it is found that 4.14kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant Kp this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 700.0°C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for Kp does not match the accepted value.
1. One of the first families of rockets used by the American space program was the Redstonefamily of rockets. The first Redstone rockets (in the 1950s) used B10H14 (often called decaborane)as a rocket fuel that reacts violently with liquid di-oxygen to make diboron trioxide and steam.When used as a rocket fuel, scientists carefully calculated the amount necessary so that bothcomponents ran out at the same time. (Excess fuel would be excess weight for the rocket tocarry.) If the total mass of both reactants put together is 12.0  104 kg, what was the volume ofliquid di-oxygen carried by the rockets? (Liquid di-oxygen has a density of 1.141 g/mL.)

A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is a stainless-steel cylinder tha measures 52.0 cm wide and 62.4 cm high. The maximum safe pressure inside the vessel has been measured to be 7.00 MPa. For a certain reaction the vessel may contain up to 25.8 kg of sulfur hexafluoride gas.

A student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based L-atm on experimentally collected data, the student calculates R to equal 0.0832 mol·K L-atm Ideal gas law constant from literature: 0.08206 mol·K (a) Determine the percent error for the student's R-value. Percent error = % (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R.
