Suppose that a fire extinguisher, filled with CO, to a pressure of 293.919 Ib/in at 21°C at the factory, is accidentally left in the sun in a closed automobile in Sohar in March. The interior temperature of the car rises to 160 °F. What is the internal pressure in the fire extinguisher in terms of pounds per square inch? Discuss the law which is applicable in this problem.

Butane gas, C4H10, is sold to campers as bottled fuel. Its density at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.38 g/L. What volume of butane gas at 25C and 1.00 atm is required to heat one gallon of water (d=1.00g/mL) from 25C to 98C ? The reaction for the combustion of butane (H f =125.6kJ/mol) is C4H10(g)+132 O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(g)
You heat 1.000 quart of water from 25.0C to its normal boiling point by burning a quantity of methane gas, CH4. What volume of methane at 23.0C and 745 mmHg would you require to heat this quantity of water, assuming that the methane is completely burned? The products are liquid water and gaseous carbon dioxide.

97 Homes in rural areas where natural gas service is not available often rely on propane to fuel kitchen ranges. The propane is stored as a liquid, and the gas to be burned is produced as the liquid evaporates. Suppose an architect has hired you to consult on the choice of a propane tank for such a new home. The propane gas consumed in 1.0 hour by a typical range burner at high power would occupy roughly 165 L at 25°C and 1.0 atm, and the range chosen by the client will have six burners. If the tank under consideration holds 500.0 gallons of liquid propane, what is the minimum number of hours it would take for the range to consume an entire tankful of propane? The density of liquid propane is 0.5077 kg/L.
93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)
Urea (H2NCONH2) is used extensively as a nitrogen source in fertilizers. It is produced commercially from the reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide: 2NH3(g)+CO2(g)PressureHeatH2NCONH2(s)+H2O(g) Ammonia gas at 223C and 90. atm flows into a reactor at a rate of 500. L/min. Carbon dioxide at 223C and 45 atm flows into the reactor at a rate of 600. L/min. What mass of urea is produced per minute by this reaction assuming 100% yield?
At the critical point for carbon dioxide, the substance is very far from being an ideal gas. Prove this statement by calculating the density of an ideal gas in g/cm3 at the conditions of the critical point and comparing it with the experimental value. Compute the experimental value from the fact that a mole of CO2 at its critical point occupies 94 cm3.
You have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.
A four-liter tank is filled with propane gas, C3H8. The mass of the tank filled with gas is 1236 g. The pressure in the tank is 2.68 atm. The temperature in the room is 37C. The propane in the tank is used up under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the mass of the empty tank?
Under what conditions does the behavior of a real gas begin to differ significantly from the ideal gas law?
