Chapter 19, Problem 19.17DQ
The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain. In fact, Mt. Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 11.7 m of rainfall a year. But what makes the winds cool?

Question 6:
Chlorine is widely used to purify municipal water supplies and to treat swimming pool
waters. Suppose that the volume of a particular sample of Cl₂ gas is 8.70 L at 895 torr
and 24°C.
(a) How many grams of Cl₂ are in the sample?
⚫ Atomic mass of CI = 35.453 g/mol
• Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 x 35.453 = 70.906 g/mol
Solution:
Use the Ideal Gas Law:
Step 1: Convert Given Values
• Pressure: P = 895 torr → atm
PV=
= nRT
1
P = 895 ×
= 1.1789 atm
760
•
Temperature: Convert to Kelvin:
T24273.15 = 297.15 K
• Gas constant: R = 0.0821 L atm/mol. K
Volume: V = 8.70 L
Step 2: Solve for n
.
