Concept explainers
Interpretation: Volume is calculated at varying pressures
Concept introduction: As per the Boyle’s law, the pressure and volume are inversely related, which means that as the pressure of the gas reduces, its volume increases and vice versa. Since, the product of pressure and volume of the gas always remains constant at a particular temperature and amount of gas. The equation gives the relation between pressure and volume is,
Given: At pressure of 760 mmHg, a sample of nitrogen (N2) has a volume of 50.0 L. Any change in the pressure, volume of nitrogen gas changed accordingly. We need to calculate the final volumes (in liters) on given pressures at constant amount and temperature.
a. 725 mmHg
b. 2.0 atm
c. 0.500 atm
d. 850 Torr

- A sample of CO2 gas at 22C and 1.00 atm has a volume of 2.00 L. Determine the ratio of the original volume to the final volume when (a) the pressure and amount of gas remain unchanged and the Celsius temperature is doubled. (b) the pressure and amount of gas remain unchanged and the Kelvin temperature is doubled.arrow_forwardA gas sample containing 1.50 moles at 25C exerts a pressure of 400. torr. Some gas is added to the same container and the temperature is increased to 50.C. If the pressure increases to 800. torr, how many moles of gas were added to the container? Assume a constant-volume container.arrow_forward39 A sample containing only NO2 and SO2, has a total pressure of 120. torr. Measurements show that the partial pressure of NO2 is 43 torr. 1f the vessel has a volume of 800.0 mL and the temperature is 22.0°C, how many moles of each gas are present?arrow_forward
- Two identical He-filled balloons, each with a volume of 20 L, are allowed to rise into the atmosphere. One rises to an altitude of 3000 m while the other rises to 6000 m. a Assuming that the balloons are at the same temperature, which balloon has the greater volume? b What information would you need in order to calculate the volume of each of the balloons at their respective heights?arrow_forwardUnder which of the following sets of conditions does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas, and for which conditions is a real gas expected to deviate from ideal behavior? Explain. (a) high pressure, small volume (b) high temperature, low pressure (c) low temperature, high pressurearrow_forwardcertain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25 °C and the barometric pressure is 730torr. The balloon men rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000ft?arrow_forward
- 43 In an experiment, a mixture of gases occupies a volume of 30.00 L at a temperature of 122.5 C. The mixture contains 14.0 g of water, 11.5 g of oxygen, and 37.3 g of nitrogen. Calculate the total pressure and the partial pressure of each gas.arrow_forwardConsider these four gas samples, all at the same temperature. The larger boxes have twice the volume of the smaller boxes. Rank the gas samples with respect to: (a) pressure, (b) density, (c) average kinetic energy, and (d) average molecular speed.
