The van der Waals parameter b is a measure of the volume excluded due to the finite size of the molecules. Estimate the size of a single molecule for: 1) Argon (Ar) b = 0.0322 L mol−1; 2) Helium (He) b = 0.0237 L mol−1; 3) Methane (CH4) b = 0.0428 L mol−1.

A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.67 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the sample descended, the water pressure compressed the balloon and reduced its volume. When the pressure had increased to 70.0 atm, what was the volume of the sample? Assume that the temperature was held constant. L V = 41.9

If there are 1.5 x 109 cows each "passing" on the average 240. Liters of CH4 (g) per day, in one day if all of that CH4 were to be safely collected and undergo a controlled but complete combustion reaction, how many grams of CO2 would contribute to the Greenhouse effect of the Earth? You will first need to have the combustion reaction of CH4. Make an assumption that the Temperature of the collected gas is 22.4 L = 1 mol, STP conditions (which it really is not at).

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
