Answer to Problem 6.45E

The pressure exerted by 2.00mol of oxygen confined to a volume of 400mL at 20.0°C is 120.1atm.

Explanation of Solution

The volume of the gas is 400mL.

The temperature of the gas is 20.0°C.

The number of moles of gas is 2.00mol.

According to the ideal gas law, the relation between pressure, temperature, volume and number of moles is,

PV=nRT …(1)

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

R is the universal gas constant.

n is the number of moles of gas.

T is the temperature of the gas.

Convert 20.0°C to K.

20.0°C=(20.0+273)K=293K

Convert 400mL to L.

400mL=4001000L=0.4L

The value of universal gas constant is 0.082LatmK1mol1.

Substitute the value of number of moles, volume, temperature and gas constant in equation (1).

P×0.4L=2.00mol×0.082LatmK1mol1×293KP=48.05Latm0.4L=120.1atm

Conclusion

The pressure exerted by 2.00mol of oxygen confined to a volume of 400mL at 20.0°C is 120.1atm.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Answer to Problem 6.45E

The volume of hydrogen gas in a steel cylinder is 4.13L.

Explanation of Solution

The pressure of the gas is 3.00atm.

The temperature of the gas is 15.0°C.

The number of moles of gas is 0.525mol.

According to the ideal gas law, the relation between pressure, temperature, volume and number of moles is,

PV=nRT …(2)

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

R is the universal gas constant.

n is the number of moles of gas.

T is the temperature of the gas.

Convert 15.0°C to K.

15.0°C=(15.0+273)K=288K

The value of universal gas constant is 0.082LatmK1mol1.

Substitute the value of number of moles, pressure, temperature and gas constant in equation (2).

3.00atm×V=0.525mol×0.082LatmK1mol1×288KV=12.4Latm3.00atm=4.13L

Conclusion

The volume of hydrogen gas in a steel cylinder is 4.13L.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The temperature of a nitrogen gas is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

According to the ideal gas law, the relation between pressure, temperature, volume and number of moles is,

PV=nRT

Answer to Problem 6.45E

The temperature of a nitrogen gas is 108.38K.

Explanation of Solution

The pressure of the gas is 300torr.

The volume of the gas is 2.25L.

The number of moles of gas is 0.100mol.

According to the ideal gas law, the relation between pressure, temperature, volume and number of moles is,

PV=nRT …(3)

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

R is the universal gas constant.

n is the number of moles of gas.

T is the temperature of the gas.

Convert 300torr to atm.

300torr=300760atm=0.395atm

The value of universal gas constant is 0.082LatmK1mol1.

Substitute the value of number of moles, pressure, volume and gas constant in equation (3).

0.395atm×2.25L=0.100mol×0.082LatmK1mol1×TT=0.395atm×2.25L0.100mol×0.082LatmK1mol1=108.38K

Conclusion

The temperature of a nitrogen gas is 108.38K.
