A 5.00 L tank at 4.81 °C is filled with 17.5 g of sulfur hexafluoride gas and 4.15 g of chlorine pentafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas in the tank. Be sure your answers have the correct number of significant digits.

Pressures of gases in mixtures are referred to as partial pressures and are additive. 1.00 L of He gas at 0.75 atm is mixed with 2.00 L of Ne gas at 1.5 atm at a temperature of 25.0 C to make a total volume of 3.00 L of a mixture. Assuming no temperature change and that He and Ne can be approximated as ideal gases, what are a the total resulting pressure, b the partial pressures of each component, and c the mole fractions of each gas in the mix?
Exhaled air contains 74.5% N2, 15.7% O2, 3.6% CO2, and 6.2% H2O (mole percent). (a) Calculate the molar mass of exhaled air. (b) Calculate the density of exhaled air at 37C and 757 mm Hg and compare the value you obtained with that of ordinary air (MM=29.0g/mol) under the same conditions.
In the anaerobic oxidation of glucose by yeast, CO2 is produced: If 1.56 L of CO2 were produced at 22.0 C and 0.965 atm, what mass of C6H12O6 is consumed by the yeast? Assume the ideal gas law applied.
93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)

Referring to exercises 1.6 and 1.7, does it matter if the pressure difference is caused by an ideal gas or a non-ideal gas? Explain your answer.
Plot the data given in Table 5.3 for oxygen at 0C to obtain an accurate molar mass for O2. To do this, calculate a value of the molar mass at each of the given pressures from the ideal gas law (we will call this the apparent molar mass at this pressure). On a graph show the apparent molar mass versus the pressure and extrapolate to find the molar mass at zero pressure. Because the ideal gas law is most accurate at low pressures, this extrapolation will give an accurate value for the molar mass. What is the accurate molar mass?
In the text, it is stated that the pressure of 4.00 mol of Cl2 in a 4.00-L tank at 100.0 C should be 26.0 atm if calculated using the van der Waals equation. Verify this result, and compare it with the pressure predicted by the ideal gas law.
