(a)
Interpretation:
The speed of sound in a gas is related to the value of γ:
Where M is the molar mass of the gas. To tell whether the gas is CO or N2 from measuring the speed of sound.
Concept introduction:
The heat capacity of the system between any two temperatures is defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature from lower to higher temperature divide by the temperature difference. And if the mass of the system is one mole then the system of the heat capacity is called the molar heat capacity.
(b)
Interpretation:
The speed of sound in a gas is related to the value of γ:
To calculate the speed of sound in CO2 at 100 K and 500 K, using the low-temperature and high-temperature values of g, respectively.

- In the 1880s, Frederick Trouton noted that the enthalpy of vaporization of 1 mol pure liquid is approximately 88 times the boiling point, Tb, of the liquid on the Kelvin scale. This relationship is called Troutons rule and is represented by the thermochemical equation liquid gas H = 88 Tb, joules Combined with an empirical formula from chemical analysis, Troutons rule can be used to find the molecular formula of a compound, as illustrated here. A compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen is 85.6% C and 14.4% H. Its enthalpy of vaporization is 389 J/g, and it boils at a temperature of 322 K. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) Use Troutons rule to calculate the approximate enthalpy or vaporization or one mole of the compound. Combine the enthalpy of vaporization per mole with that same quantity per gram to obtain an approximate molar mass of the compound. (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to find the molecular formula of this compound. Remember that the molecular mass must be exactly a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula mass, so considerable rounding may be needed.arrow_forwardAn industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas.
