Answer to Problem 121AE
0.177 g is the mass of Xe in the given room.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The volume of Xe in atmosphere = 9.0×10−6 % at 25o C and 1 atm .
The dimensions of room is 7.26 m by 8.80 m by 5.67 m.
The volume of the room is:
Volume = 7.26 m×8.80 m×5.26 mVolume = = 336.05 m3
Converting volume from m3to L as:
1 m3=103 L
= 336.05 m3 = 336.05 × 103 L
The amount of Xe present in the atmosphere is:
9.0 × 10−6 % of Xe = (9.0 × 10−6100)= 9.0 × 10−8
So, 9.0 × 10−8 is the amount of Xe present at the given conditions (temperature and pressure).
The amount of Xe present in the room is:
Volume of Xenon = volume of room × amount of Xenon in airVolume of Xenon = 336.05 × 103 L × 9.0 × 10−8Volume of Xenon = 3.02 × 10−2 L
Now, the number of moles of Xe present in the room is determined using equation (1):
PV = nRT
The values to be substituted are:
P = 1.0 atm , V = 3.3 × 10−2 L , R = 0.08206 Latm K−1mol−1 and T = 25+273 = 298 K
n = PVRTn = (1.0 atm) (3.3×10−2 L) (0.08206 Latm K−1mol−1) (298 K)n= 3.3×10−224.44 moln = 1.35×10−3 mol
Now, the mass of Xe is determined using formula:
number of moles, n = mass, mmolar mass, M
Rearranging as:
Mass = n × M
Molar mass of Xe is 131.3 g/mol .
Substituting the values:
Mass = 1.35 × 10−3 mol × 131.3 g /molMass = 0.177 g
Thus, the mass of Xe in the given room is 0.177 g .
b.
Interpretation: The number of Xe atoms inhaled in each breath needs to be calculated when the volume of air taken by a person is about 2 L.

PV = nRT - (1)
Where R is Universal gas constant.
b.

Answer to Problem 121AE
5×1015 atoms is the number of Xe atoms inhaled in each breath.
Explanation of Solution
The amount of Xe in 2 L air is:
Volume of Xe in 2 L air = Xe per L × given amountVolume of Xe in 2 L air = 9.0 × 10−8 × 2 LVolume of Xe in 2 L air = 1.8 × 10−7 L
Now, the number of moles of Xe present in the breath is determined using equation (1):
PV = nRT
The values to be substituted are:
P = 1.0 atm , V = 1.8 × 10−7 L , R = 0.08206 Latm K−1mol−1 and T = 25+273 = 298 K
n = PVRTn = (1.0 atm) (1.8 × 10−7 L) (0.08206 Latm K−1mol−1) (298 K)n = 7.4 × 10−9 mol
Now, the number of atoms ofXe is determined using formula:
Number of atoms = n × NA
Where NA is Avogadro’s constant having value 6.022 × 1023 atoms/mol .
Number of atoms = 7.4×10−9 mol × 6.022×1023 atoms/molNumber of atoms = 4.5×1015 atomsNumber of atoms ≃ 5×1015 atoms
Thus, the number of Xe atoms inhaled in each breath is 5×1015 atoms .
