On our campus, there are approximately 30.000 students who use 2.5 x 10° kJ of energy per day. Suppose all of that energy comes from the combustion of a carbon- hydrogen-oxygen compound in the presence of excess O2(g). 2.647 g sample of this gaseous carbon-hydrogen-oxygen compound that occupies a volume of 580 mL at 918,6 Torr and 24.00 °C. The products of the combustion of the given amount are 5.059 g CO2(g), 3.106 g H2O(1), and enough heat to raise the temperature of the calorimeter assembly from 24.00 to 38.33 °C. What is the molecular formula of this unknown compound and how many kilograms of this compound are needed to provide enough daily energy to all students on campus? (The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 4.915 kJ/°C.)

Although ozone is an important component of the upper atmosphere, long-term exposure to ozone in the air we breathe can cause inflammation of the lung, impairment of lung defense mechanisms, and irreversible changes in lung structure. The EPA has set an 8 hour limit for ozone of 0.08 ppm as an air quality standard for cities. At the EPA limit, how many ozone molecules are present in 5.0 liters of air at 25 °C and 0.967 atm? (Hint: assume that air is an ideal gas and calculate the total number of molecules there are in 5.0 L. Then use the definition of ppm.)

Given the reaction: 2 Al (s) + 6 HCI (ag) --> 2 AICI3 (aq) + 3 H2 (g) A strip of aluminum of unknown mass is reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. When the hydrogen gas is collected over water, it is done so at a temperature of 22.0 °C and fills a flask of volume 32.5 mL. The pressure inside the collection tube is 756.1 mmHg and the water vapor pressure at 22.0 °C is 19.83 torr. Determine the mass of the aluminum strip in milligrams (mg).

When limestone (solid CaCO3) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete - the lime absorbs CO₂ from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 550. L and heated to 520.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO3 has stopped changing, it is found that 8.46 kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 520.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. P Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for K does not match the accepted value. 0 X
