Imagine that you have a 6.50 L gas tank and a 2.50 L gas tank. You need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylene to use in conjunction with your welding torch. If you fill the larger tank with oxygen to a pressure of 156 bar , to what pressure should you fill the acetylene tank to ensure that you run out of each gas at the same time? Assume ideal behaviour for all gases. Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A 9.00L tank at 22.2°C is filled with 5.42g of carbon monoxide gas and 17.1g of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas, and the total pressure in the tank. Be sure your answers have the correct number of significant digits. carbon monoxide partial pressure: atm sulfur tetrafluoride partial pressure: atm Total pressure in tank: atm
A gas occupies a volume of 240 ml at 65°C and 297 kPa. What is the volume of the gas at STP? Show your work. Include units on your answer. (STP is standard temperature and pressure. Standard temperature is 273 K and 101.3 kPa.)

A 10.0L tank at 8.26°C is filled with 6.16g of sulfur hexafluoride gas and 18.8g of dinitrogen difluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas, and the total pressure in the tank.

Underwater, the pressure increases by 1 bar for every 10 m of depth. When a scuba diver breathes pressurized air in which the partial pressure of N2(g) exceeds 4 bar, the result is nitrogen narcosis, which is similar to alcohol intoxication. What is the maximum mole percent of N2 in an air mixture that could be used by divers at depths up to 85 m below sea level without undue risk of nitrogen narcosis?
1.25 L container holds a stoichiometric mixture* of ethene (CaH4), ethane (CaH6) and oxygen at a total pressure of 1.55 atm and a temperature of 24.5 °C. The mixture is ignited and completely combusts to form carbon dioxide and water. The water is removed from the vessel, leaving only carbon dioxide at a total pressure of 0.926 am at the same conditions. What is the mole fraction of oxygen in the original mixture?
A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high pressure gas reaction vessel vessel is a stainless steel cylinder that measures 38.0 cm wide and 45.6 cm high. The maximum safe pressure inside the vessel has been measured to be 9.00 MPa. For a certain reaction vessel may contain up to 9.95 kg of chlorine pentaflouride gas. Calculate the maximum safe operating temperature the engineer should recommend for this reaction
A canister of pressurized gas has a mass of 10.0000 g. A small amount of gas is released and collected. The collected gas has a volume of 50.00 mL. The pressure and the temperature of the collected gas are the same as the air pressure and air temperature that day: 100. kPa and 25oC. It is noticed that when the gas is released the mass of the pressurized canister decreases to a mass of 9.9110 g. It is not known what gas is in the canister, but you know it is one of the following gases: methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) or butane (C4H10). Using the information provided determine which gas is actually present in the canister.
Xenon and helium are both ideal, monatomic gases, but they have very different molar masses (Mxenon = 33*Mhelium). If you have 1 mole of each gas and the gases are at the same temperature, which one of the following statements is true? They both have the same internal energy, but xenon has a lower root-mean-square speed than helium. They both have the same internal energy and root-mean-square speed. They both have the same root-mean-square speed, but xenon has a greater internal energy than helium. They both have the same internal energy, but helium has a lower root-mean-square speed than xenon. They both have the same root-mean-square speed, but helium has a greater internal energy than xenon.
Using the Van der Waals equation for a non-ideal gas below, calculate the pressure, P, of a system that contains 29.073 g of O2 in volume of 112.341 mL at a temperature of 20.03 °C. The correction factors for this gas are 1.36 and 0.0318 for a and b, respectively.
Two flasks of equal volume are connected by a narrow tube (of negligible volume). Initially, both flasks are at 27°C and contain 0.70 moles of hydrogen gas, the pressure being 50,000 Pa. One of the flasks is then immersed in a hot oil bath at 127°C, while the other is kept at 27°C. Calculate the final pressure of the system, in Pa. Calculate the final number of moles of hydrogen gas in the flask that was immersed in the oil bath. R = 0.08205 L atm mol-¹ K-₁ T(K) = T (°C) + 273.15
