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. Hg, what is the temperature of the gas, in °C?arrow_forward
- 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
- How does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardA student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based on experimentally collected data, the student calculates R to equal L'atm 0.0832 mol·K L'atm Ideal gas law constant from literature: 0.08206 mol·K (a) Determine the percent error for the student's R-value. Percent error =|1.389 (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it.arrow_forwardJj.200.arrow_forward
- A metal cylinder with a capacity of 6.0 L is filled with compressed propane (C3H8). The pressure and temperature of the cylinder when it was initially filled were 120 atm and 75 ◦C, respectively. The molar mass of carbon is 12 g·mol−1 and the molar mass of hydrogen is 1 g·mol−1. a) How many moles of propane are in the cylinder? b) What is the mass of the propane inside the cylinder? c) After some time, the cylinder and its contents cool to 25 ◦C. What is the pressure in the cylinder after it has cooled?arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution ....arrow_forwardNatural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6). A typical mixture might have mole fraction of methane = 0.915 and mole fraction of ethane = 0.085. (a) What are the partial pressure of the two gases in a 14.10 L container of natural gas at 30 degrees Celcius and 1.34 atm? (b) Assuming complete combustion of both gases in the natural gas sample, what is the total mass of water formed?
