- What does “STP’ stand for? What conditions correspond to STP? What is the volume occupied by one mole of an ideal gas at STParrow_forwardWhat volume (in liters) of O2, measured at standard temperature and pressure, is required to oxidize 0.400 mol of phosphorus (P4)? P4(s) + 5 O2(g) P4O10(s)arrow_forwardConsider the following sketch. Each square in bulb A represents a mole of atoms X. Each circle in bulb B represents a mole of atoms Y. The bulbs have the same volume, and the temperature is kept constant. When the valve is opened, atoms of X react with atoms of Y according to the following equation: 2X(g)+Y(g)X2Y(g)The gaseous product is represented as and each represents one mole of product. (a) IfP A=2.0 atm, what is P8 before the valve is opened and the reaction is allowed to occur? What is P A+P B? (b) Redraw the sketch to represent what happens after the valve is opened. (c) What is PA? What is PB? What is P A+P B? Compare your answer with the answer in part (a).arrow_forward
- You have a 550.-mL tank of gas with a pressure of 1.56 atm at 24 C. You thought the gas was pure carbon monoxide gas, CO, but you later found it was contaminated by small quantities of gaseous CO2 and O2. Analysis shows that the tank pressure is 1.34 atm (at 24 C) if the CO2 is removed. Another experiment shows that 0.0870 g of O2 can be removed chemically. What are the masses of CO and CO2 in the tank, and what is the partial pressure of each of the three gases at 25 C?arrow_forwardPyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forward
- You have two pressure-proof steel cylinders of equal volume, one containing 1.0 kg of CO and the other containing 1.0 kg of acetylene, C2H2. (a) In which cylinder is the pressure greater at 25 C? (b) Which cylinder contains the greater number of molecules?arrow_forwardA person exhales about 5.8 102 L of carbon dioxide per day (at STP). The carbon dioxide exhaled by an astronaut is absorbed from the air of a space capsule by reaction with lithium hydroxide, LiOH. 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) How many grams of lithium hydroxide are required per astronaut per day?arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forward
- 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.)arrow_forwardAmmonia gas is synthesized by combining hydrogen and nitrogen: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) (a) If you want to produce 562 g of NH3, what volume of H2 gas, at 56 C and 745 mm Hg, is required? (b) Nitrogen for this reaction will be obtained from air. What volume of air, measured at 29 C and 745 mm Hg pressure, will be required to provide the nitrogen needed to produce 562 g of NH3? Assume the sample of air contains 78.1 mole % N2.arrow_forwardA mixture contained zinc sulfide, ZnS, and lead sulfide, PbS. A sample of the mixture weighing 6.12 g was reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The reactions are ZnS(s)+2HCL(aq)ZnCl2(aq)+H2S(g)PbS(s)+2HCL(aq)PbCl2(aq)+H2S(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.049 L of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, at 23C and 762 mmHg, what were the percentages of ZnS and PbS in the mixture?arrow_forward
