- How does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardGiven that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardThe density of air at 20C and 1.00 atm is 1.205 g/L. If this air were compressed at the same temperature to equal the pressure at 50.0 m below sea level, what would be its density? Assume the barometric pressure is constant at 1.00 atm. The density of seawater is 1.025 g/cm3.arrow_forward
- What possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forwardOn 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.)arrow_forwardTo prevent tank rupture during deep-space travel, an engineering team is studying the effect of temperature on gases confined to small volumes. What is the pressure of 2.00 molmol of gas DD measured at 251 ∘C∘C in a 1.75-LL container assuming ideal behavior?arrow_forward
- Hydrogen gas is collected over water at 23.5 °C and an atmospheric pressure of 765 mmHg. Calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas.arrow_forward4arrow_forwardDescribe what happens to the average kinetic energy of ideal gas molecules when the conditions are changed as follows:(a) The pressure of the gas is increased by reducing the volume at constant temperature.(b) The pressure of the gas is increased by increasing the temperature at constant volume.(c) The average velocity of the molecules is increased by a factor of 2.arrow_forward
- a) At what pressure does the mean free path of argon at 20 °C become comparable to the diameter of a 100 cm3 vessel that contains it? Takeσ = 0.36 nm2.b) At what pressure does the mean free path of argon at 20 °C become comparable to 10 times the diameters of the atoms themselves? Take σ = 0.36 nm2.arrow_forwardWhen 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 910.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO3 has stopped changing, it is found that 567. g have disappeared. P Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 910.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. 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. K-0 Parrow_forwardWhen limestone (solid CaCO₂) is heated, it decomposes into time (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 500. L and heated to 520.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO, has topped changing, it is found that 7.69 kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO, and CaO at 520.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
