The relative humidity of air equals the ratio of the partial pressure of water in the air to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at the same temperature times 100%. If the relative humidity of the air is 58% and its temperature is 68 oF, how many moles of water are present in a room measuring 12 ft x 10 ft x 8 ft? The vapor pressure of water at 68 oF is 17.54 torr. The answer is 20, but for some reason I keep getting 15.127moles

A mixture of two gases (gas X and gas Z) is pumped into a sealed container half-way filled with 5.0 L of water. The total pressure of the gases over the water is 1.34 atm. If the pressure of gas Z is 0.52 atm. How many grams of gas X are in the water if the molar mass for gas X is 22.31 g/mol? The Henry's law constant for gas X is 0.0266 mol/(L-atm). 16. Grams of gas X:
A scuba diver creates a spherical bubble with a radius of 2.5 cm at a depth of 30.0 m where the total pressure (including atmospheric pressure) is 4.00 atm. What is the radius of the bubble when it reaches the surface of the water? (Assume that the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is298 K.)
A scientist goes to the lab to carefully collect hydrogen gas using both Mg metal and 2.00 M HCl according to the balanced equation given below. A table with the vapor pressure of water at various temperatures is also provided below for reference. Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) Temperature (°C) 20.0 25.0 30.0 Pressure (mm Hg) 17.55 23.78 31.86 I. If the atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment was 752 torr, the temperature was 25.0 °C, and 279 mL of gas was collected, how many molecules of hydrogen were produced?
A sample of H2 is collected over water in a 3.55L container at 50 celcius. If the total pressure is 445 torr, how many moles of H2 are collected? Vapor pressure of water at 50 celcius = 92.59 torr
For many purposes we can treat methane as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -161\deg C supposed the temperature of a sample methane gas is raised from -29 to -5\deg C And at the same time the pressure is decreased by 15%. What happens to the volume
You collect butane gas in a graduated cylinder that is inverted and partially filled with water. There will be water vapor present in the gas. If the total pressure inside the graduated cylinder is 747.8 torr and the temperature is 25, what is the vapor pressure of just the butane gas?
or many purposes we on treat propane (C₂¹) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -42. °C. Suppose the temperature of a sample of propane gas is lowered from 12.0 °C to -31.0 °C, and at the same time the pressure is increased by 5.0%. Does the volume of the sample increase, decrease, or stay the same? O increase O decrease O stays the same If you said the volume increases or decreases, calculate the percentage change in % the volume. Round your answer to the nearest percent. 0 x10 X
