(a) In a 20.0 L steel container, we have only 77.7 g of CO2(g), 66.6 g of N2(g), and O2(g). The temperature is 25.0 ◦C and the total pressure is 8.88 atm. What mass of O2(g) do we have, and what is its partial pressure? The molar masses of C, N, and O are 12.01, 14.01, and 16.00 g/mol. (b)  The density of a sample of pure CH4(g) at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm is 0.666 g/L. What is the average speed, or root mean square speed, of the CH4(g) molecules in this sample? The molar masses of C and H are 12.01 and 1.01 g/mol.

Question

11. (a) In a 20.0 L steel container, we have only 77.7 g of CO2(g), 66.6 g of N2(g), and O2(g).

The temperature is 25.0 C and the total pressure is 8.88 atm. What mass of O2(g) do we have, and

what is its partial pressure? The molar masses of C, N, and O are 12.01, 14.01, and 16.00 g/mol.

(b)  The density of a sample of pure CH4(g) at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm is 0.666 g/L.

What is the average speed, or root mean square speed, of the CH4(g) molecules in this sample? The

molar masses of C and H are 12.01 and 1.01 g/mol.
