Concept explainers
Interpretation:
SI unit of pressure and units of pressure commonly used in the United States are to be stated. The reason as to why these common units are more convenient to use than the SI unit is to be stated. Manometer is to be described and how this can be used to measure the pressure of gas sample is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
SI units can be defined as the international standard units used widely in the world. Manometer is used to measure pressure. It consists of a U shaped gas tube filled with an appropriate liquid. Generally the liquid used in manometer is mercury.

- When calcium carbonate is heated strongly, it evolves carbon dioxide gas. CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) 25 g of CaCO3 is heated, what mass of CO2would be produced? What volume would this quantity of CO2 (CU at STP?arrow_forwardWithout consulting your textbook, list and explain the main postulates of the kinetic molecular theory for gases. How do these postulates help us account for the following bulk properties of a gas: the pressure of the gas and why the pressure of the gas increases with increased temperature; the fact that a gas tills its entire container; and the fact that the volume of a given sample of gas increases as its temperature is increased.arrow_forwardIf an electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride, elemental chlorine gas is generated as the sodium chloride is decomposed. :math>2NaCl(1)2Na(s)+Cl2(g) at volume of chlorine gas measured at 767 mm Hg at 25 °C would be generated by complete decomposition of 1.25 g of NaCl?arrow_forward
- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forwardPotassium chlorate, potassium chloride, and water is produced by passing chlorine gas into a hot solution of potassium hydroxide. Calculate the volume in L of chlorine gas needed to produce 909.97 mL of 4.92 M potassium chlorate. The density of chlorine gas is 3.17 g/L. Atomic Mass: K: 39.098 g/mol Cl: 35.453 g/mol O: 15.999 g/mol H: 1.008 g/mol Round your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardPart 1. A lightly inflated balloon is placed in a freezer. Explain the change to the size of the balloon based on the kinetic molecular theory.Part 2. What would most likely happen to the balloon if it was instead kept outside in the sun for some time? Explain your answer based on the kinetic molecular theory.In both cases, assume the balloon is tied tight enough so that air does not escape.arrow_forward
- Part 5. Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures A sample of Argon gas is placed in a 5.0L container at 298K. The measured pressure is 1.0 atm. If Xenon gas is added to the same container containing the Argon, and the volume and temperature due not change, the pressure increases to 1.5 atm. From this data calculate the moles of argon and xenon present in the flask and the mole fraction of each gas.arrow_forwardPart 1: Gas Laws The physical properties of gases can be explained using four variables; volume (V), pressure (P), temperature (T), and amount in number of moles (n). Four simple laws are used to explain the behavior of gaseous species. Complete the table below to summarize the four gas laws. Name of the gas Properties that Properties that Gas law equation Gas law explanation law stay constant are changing n and T P:V1 = P:V2 Charles's law T and V are directly proportional.

We then set it in a cold ice water bath and saw the can collapse. Write a couple sentences explaining in detail why this happened. Your description should use microscopic models to describe the macroscopic observation. (Hint: do not use any of the following words: Charles Avogadro's , Gay Lussac or Boyle's. I don't care about the names of laws.)arrow_forward
