Interpretation:
For the given details, it should be given the reason for the different values of k between example 8-3 and table 8-1 and value of K should be expressed in unit of atm. L.
Concept introduction:
Boyle’s law can be defined as,
A gas kept in the particular container at constant temperature. If the container of gas is compressed, the gaseous particle is compressed and the volume of container is decreased.. That is the volume of container is inversely proportional to the pressure of gas. As increasing the pressure of a particular gas the volume of gas will reduce. This indirect relationship between the pressure and volume of gas is termed as Boyles’s law.
Mathematically this law can be written as,
P
PV=k
Where P is pressure and k is proportionality constant.

- You have two pressure-proof steel cylinders of equal volume, one containing 1.0 kg of CO and the other containing 1.0 kg of acetylene, C2H2. (a) In which cylinder is the pressure greater at 25 C? (b) Which cylinder contains the greater number of molecules?arrow_forward5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?arrow_forward5-107 If 60.0 g of NH3 occupies 35.1 L under a pressure of 77.2 in.

- Given that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardIn the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)arrow_forwardWhat possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forward
- For many purposes we can treat butane (C4H₁0) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -1. °C. Suppose the pressure on a 86.0 g sample of butane gas at 15.0°C is reduced to one-third its initial value. Is it possible to change the temperature of the butane at the same time such that the volume of the gas doesn't change? If you answered yes, calculate the new temperature of the gas. Round your answer to the nearest °C. O yes O no 0.P Xarrow_forwardPart A. Multiple Choice Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. L·atm R = 0.08206 mol · K 1. At 0.982 atm, the height of mercury in a barometer is 0.746 m. If the mercury were replaced with ethanol, what height of ethanol (in meters) would be supported at this pressure?

Suppose the pressure on a 1.0 m³ sample of butane gas at 44.0°C is reduced to one-third its initial value. Is it possible to change the temperature of the butane at the same time such that the volume of the gas doesn't change? If you answered yes, calculate the new temperature of the gas.
