Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The height of a column of mercury required to produce 0.984 atm of pressure needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The relation between density, height of column and pressure can be represented as follows:
Here, P is pressure (Pa), h is height (m), d is density (kg/m3) and g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s2.
(b)
Interpretation:
The height of a column of mercury required to produce 0.928 torr of pressure needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The relation between density, height of column and pressure can be represented as follows:
Here: P is pressure (Pa), h is height (m), d is density (kg/m3) and g is gravity constant which is 9.8 m/s2.
(c)
Interpretation:
The height of a column of mercury required to produce pressure equivalent to the pressure of the water column of height 142 ft needs to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The relation between density, height of column and pressure can be represented as follows:
Here: P is pressure (Pa), h is height (m), d is density (kg/m3) and g is gravity constant which is 9.8 m/s2.

- A mixture of 0.200 g of 1.00 g of and 0.820 g of Ar is stored in a closed container at STP. Find the volume of the container, assuming that the gases exhibit ideal behavior.arrow_forward5-114 Carbon dioxide gas, saturated with water vapor, can be produced by the addition of aqueous acid to calcium carbonate based on the following balanced net ionic equation: (a) How many moles of wet CO (g), collected at 60.°C and 774 torr total pressure, are produced by the complete reaction of 10.0 g of CaCO3 with excess acid? (b) What volume does this wet CO2 occupy? (c) What volume would the CO2 occupy at 774 torr if a desiccant (a chemical drying agent) were added to remove the water?

- You have an equimolar mixture of the gases SO2 and O2, along with some He, in a container fitted with a piston. The density of this mixture at STP is 1.924 g/L. Assume ideal behavior and constant temperature and pressure. a. What is the mole fraction of He in the original mixture? b. The SO2 and O2 react to completion to form SO3. What is the density of the gas mixture after the reaction is complete?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_forward54 One way to generate oxygen is to heat potassium chlorate, KClO3. (The other product is potassium chloride.)
