Workers at a research station in the Antarctic collected a sample of air to test for airborne pollutants. They collected the sample in a 1.00-L container at 764 torr and 20 C. Calculate the pressure in the container when it was opened for analysis in a particulate-free clean room in a laboratory in South Carolina, at a temperature of 22 C.
A certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855 L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25C and the barometric pressure is 730 torr. The balloon then rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605 torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000 ft?
A chemist weighed out 5.14 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and CaO(s) and placed the sample in a 1.50-L flask containing CO2(g) at 30.0C and 750. torr. After the reaction to form BaCO3(s) and CaCO3(s) was completed, the pressure of CO2(g) remaining was 230. torr. Calculate the mass percentages of CaO(s) and BaO(s) in the mixture.
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?
The following figure shows three 1.00-L bulbs connected by valves. Each bulb contains argon gas with amounts proportional to the number of circles pictorially represented in the chamber. All three bulbs are maintained at the same temperature. Unless stated otherwise, assume that the valves connecting the bulbs are closed and seal the gases in their respective chambers. Assume also that the volume between each bulb is negligible. (a) Which bulb has the highest pressure? (b) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the pressure in bulb C? (c) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 atm, what is the total pressure? (d) If the pressure in bulb A is 0.500 arm, and the valve between bulbs A and B is opened, redraw the figure shown above to accurately represent the gas atoms in all three bulbs. What is P A+P B+P C? Compare your answer in part (d) to that in part (c). (e) Follow the instructions of part (d) but now open only the valve between bulbs B and C.
The oxides of Group 2A metals (symbolized by M here) react with carbon dioxide according to the following reaction: MO(s)+CO2(g)MCO3(s) A 2.85-g sample containing only MgO and CuO is placed in a 3.00-L container. The container is filled with CO2 to a pressure of 740. torr at 20.C. After the reaction has gone to completion, the pressure inside the flask is 390. torr at 20.C. What is the mass percent of MgO in the mixture? Assume that only the MgO reacts with CO2.
Hydrogen gas is used in weather balloon because it is less expensive than Helium. Assume that 5.57 g of H2 is used to fill a weather balloon to an initial volume of 67 L at 1.04 atm. If the ballloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is 0.047 atm, what is its new volume? Assume that the temperature remains constant.
A sample of carbon monoxide was collected over water at a total pressure of 756 torr and a temperature of 18 °C. What is the pressure of the carbon monoxide? (See Table 9.2 for the vapor pressure of water.)
