Learning units: Hospitals need compressed oxygen cylinders. Suppose you are given the choice of purchasing four oxygen cylinders: the red one (P = 2.0 atm, V = 34000 cm³), the blue one (P = 24 bar, V = 1.0 L), the green one (P = 22,000 Pa, V = 24 L), and a special yellow one with 1024 oxygen molecules. If they are the same the price, which cylinder should you purchase? Show your reasoning. Assume ideal gas behavior and the gases are at room temperature (25°C).

Three gases are stored at 25°C in separate but connected containers. The first container is 10.0 L and contains 1.008 g of hydrogen gas, the second is 5.0 L and contains 70.9 of chlorine gas, and the final is 20.0 L and contains 132.027 g of carbon dioxide. After sitting in storage for 30 years (NOT the age of Dr. Skinner), the containers are placed on a counter and the gases are allowed to mix. a) What is the pressure of each gas before mixing? b) What is the total pressure after the gases mix? c) What is the pressure of each gas after mixing?
In 1783, Jacques Charles launched his first balloon filled with hydrogen gas, which he chose because it was lighter than air. The balloon, which had a volume of 31 000 L at STP, reached an altitude of 1000 m, where the pressure was 663 mmHg and the temperature was -3 ∘C. What was the volume, in liters, of the balloon at these conditions? Express your answer using two significant figures.
A cylinder is filled with 10.0 L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 231. kPa. The piston is now pulled up, expanding the gas, until the gas has a final volume of 71.0 L. Calculate the final pressure of the gas. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. piston kPa gas cylinder x10 × Ś
Acetylene torches are used for welding. These torches use a mixture of acetylene gas, C₂ H₂, and oxygen gas, O₂ to produce the following combustion reaction: 2C₂ H2(g) + 5O2 (g)→4CO2 (g) + 2H₂O(g) Part A Imagine that you have a 7.00 L gas tank and a 2.00 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 135 atm, to what pressure should you fill the acetylene tank to ensure that you run out of each gas at the same time? Assume ideal behavior for all gases. Express your answer with the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) P = 48.4 Submit Previous Answers atm 巴」? X Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining
The human body burns glucose (C6H12O6) for energy according to this chemical reaction: C6H12O6+6O2→ 6CO2+6H2O The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500.mL of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO2 and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 2.9kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 0.50kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO2 is 2.0 kg/m^3 .

According to Dalton, the pressure exerted by a gas inside a container is proportional to the number of molecules of that gas. If 4.00 x 1023 molecules of N2 and 2.00 x 1023 molecules of O2 are mixed in a container they exert a total pressure of 1686 torr. What portion of that pressure (in torr units) is exerted by the N2? Report answer to four significant figures in decimal notation. _____________________ torr, What portion of that pressure (in torr units) is exerted by the O2? Report answer to four significant figures in decimal notation. ____________________ torr
