Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Among the two barometers having mercury and water, the barometer that have a higher column of liquid has to be given and explained
Concept Introduction:
Pressure is coined as the force exerted per unit area of surface and is given by the below formula as,
The SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).
In a barometer or manometer, the pressure ‘P’ and the height ‘h’ of the liquid column is related as,
Where,
P is the pressure

3. If all of the gas was not vaporized before taking the mass (some stayed in liquid form), how would that affect the final molar mass calculation?
4. If a sample of ethanol (C2H6O) was determined to have a pressure of 2 atm at a temperature of 25°C, what is its density (in g/L)?
A steel cylinder contains 5.00 moles graphite (pure carbon) and 5.00 moles O2. The mixture is ignited and all the graphite reacts. Combustion produces a mixture of CO gas and CO2 gas. After the cylinder has cooled to its original temperature, it is found that the pressure of the cylinder has increased by 25.0%. Calculate the mole fractions of CO, CO2, and O2 in the final gaseous mixture.

- The ideal gas law describes the relationship between pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V), and the number of moles of gas (n). PV = nRT The additional symbol, R, represents the ideal gas constant. The ideal gas law is a good approximation of the behavior of gases when the pressure is low and the temperature is high. (What constitutes low pressure and high temperature varies with different gases.) In 1873, Johannes Diderik van der Waals proposed a modified version of the ideal gas law that better models the behavior of real gases over a wider range of temperature and pressure. na P + ")(v – nb) = nRT In this equation the additional variables a and b represent values characteristic of individual gases.arrow_forwardOne way to reduce air pollution is to remove potential pollutant gases from an exhaust stream before they are released into the air.
