Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is propane stored under sufficient pressure to liquify it. When a tank of LPG is opened the propane vaporizes and is released as gas-phase propane. a) If a 50.0 g sample of LPG is released into an otherwise empty cylinder with a piston, what volume of gas is produced at 1.00 atm and 25.0 oC? b) If the resulting gas (assume ideal behavior) sample is heated to 50 oC while simultaneously doubling the pressure, what is the volume that the gas occupies? c) Briefly explain what effect this i) heating, and ii) pressurizing, of the gas will do to the average kinetic energy of the propane

Question

Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is propane stored under sufficient pressure to liquify it. When a tank of LPG is opened the propane vaporizes and is released as gas-phase propane.

a) If a 50.0 g sample of LPG is released into an otherwise empty cylinder with a piston, what volume of gas is produced at 1.00 atm and 25.0 oC?

b) If the resulting gas (assume ideal behavior) sample is heated to 50 oC while simultaneously doubling the pressure, what is the volume that the gas occupies?

c) Briefly explain what effect this i) heating, and ii) pressurizing, of the gas will do to the average kinetic energy of the propane.
