Interpretation:
The given pressure 4.8 atm of Freon-12 is to be converted to mm Hg, torr, Pa and psi units.
Concept Introduction:
Pressure of a substance can be stated in various units. The units of pressure are interconvertible. The relations between units of pressure are,
- Since the unit mm Hg and the unit torr is used interchangeably.

- A cylinder of compressed gas is labeled Composition (mole %): 4.5% H2S, 3.0% CO2, balance N2. The pressure gauge attached to the cylinder reads 46 atm. Calculate the partial pressure of each gas, in atmospheres, in the cylinder.arrow_forwardYou have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.arrow_forwardA four-liter tank is filled with propane gas, C3H8. The mass of the tank filled with gas is 1236 g. The pressure in the tank is 2.68 atm. The temperature in the room is 37C. The propane in the tank is used up under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the mass of the empty tank?arrow_forward
- Under which of the following sets of conditions does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas, and for which conditions is a real gas expected to deviate from ideal behavior? Explain. (a) high pressure, small volume (b) high temperature, low pressure (c) low temperature, high pressurearrow_forwardExplain why the plot of PV for CO2 differs from that of an ideal gas.arrow_forward105 The decomposition of mercury(II) thiocyanate produces an odd brown snake-like mass that is so unusual the process was once used in fireworks displays. There are actually several reactions that take place when the solid Hg(SCN)2 is ignited: 2Hg(SCN)2(s)2HgS(s)+CS2(s)+C3N4(s)CS2(s)+3O2(g)CO2(g)+2SO2(g)2C3N4(s)3(CN)2(g)+N2(g)HgS(s)+O2(g)Hg(l)+SO2(g) A 42.4-g sample of Hg(SCN)2 is placed into a 2.4-L vessel at 21°C. The vessel also contains air at a pressure of 758 torr. The container is sealed and the mixture is ignited, causing the reaction sequence above to occur. Once the reaction is complete, the container is cooled back to the original temperature of 21°C. (a) Without doing numerical calculations, predict whether the final pressure in the vessel will be greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure. Explain your answer. (b) Calculate the final pressure and compare your result with your prediction. (Assume that the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.21.)arrow_forward
- Graphs showing the behavior of several different gases follow. Which of these gases exhibit behavior significantly different from that expected for ideal gases?arrow_forward94 Mining engineers often have to deal with gases when planning for the excavation of coal. Some of these gases, including methane, can be captured and used as fuel to support the mining operation. For a particular mine, 2.4 g of CH4 is present for every 100.0 g of coal that is extracted. If 45.6% of the methane can be captured and the daily production of the mine is 580 metric tons of coal, how many moles of methane could be obtained per day?arrow_forwardConsider the following sketch. Each square in bulb A represents a mole of atoms X. Each circle in bulb B represents a mole of atoms Y. The bulbs have the same volume, and the temperature is kept constant. When the valve is opened, atoms of X react with atoms of Y according to the following equation: 2X(g)+Y(g)X2Y(g)The gaseous product is represented as and each represents one mole of product. (a) IfP A=2.0 atm, what is P8 before the valve is opened and the reaction is allowed to occur? What is P A+P B? (b) Redraw the sketch to represent what happens after the valve is opened. (c) What is PA? What is PB? What is P A+P B? Compare your answer with the answer in part (a).arrow_forward

(The percentages given indicate the percent of the total pressure that is due to each component.)arrow_forwardDescribe what happens o the average kinetic energy of ideal gas molecules when the conditions are changed as follows: (a) The pressure of the gas is increased by reducing the volume at constant temperature.
