Interpretation:
Final pressure in system after the completion of reaction has to be determined using the given data.
Concept Introduction:
Ideal gas Equation:
Any gas is described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.
Here,
n is the moles of gas
P is the Pressure
V is the Volume
T is the Temperature
R is the gas constant
Limiting reagent: The reactant that runs out first in any given reaction is said as limiting reagent.

- Xenon and fluorine will react to form binary compounds when a mixture of these two gases is heated to 400C in a nickel reaction vessel. A 100.0-mL nickel container is filled with xenon and fluorine, giving partial pressures of 1.24 atm and 10.10 atm, respectively, at a temperature of 25C. The reaction vessel is heated to 400C to cause a reaction to occur and then cooled to a temperature at which F2 is a gas and the xenon fluoride compound produced is a nonvolatile solid. The remaining F2 gas is transferred to another 100.0-mL nickel container, where the pressure of F2 at 25C is 7.62 atm. Assuming all of the xenon has reacted, what is the formula of the product?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_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

- In 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_forwardCarbon monoxide, CO, and oxygen, O2, react according to 2CO(g)+O2(g)2CO2(g) Assuming that the reaction takes place and goes to completion, determine what substances remain and what their partial pressures are after the valve is opened in the apparatus represented in the accompanying figure. Also assume that the temperature is fixed at 300 K.arrow_forwardYou have a 550.-mL tank of gas with a pressure of 1.56 atm at 24 C. You thought the gas was pure carbon monoxide gas, CO, but you later found it was contaminated by small quantities of gaseous CO2 and O2. Analysis shows that the tank pressure is 1.34 atm (at 24 C) if the CO2 is removed. Another experiment shows that 0.0870 g of O2 can be removed chemically. What are the masses of CO and CO2 in the tank, and what is the partial pressure of each of the three gases at 25 C?arrow_forward
- In a typical automobile engine, a gasoline vapor-air mixture is compressed and ignited in the cylinders of the engine. This results in a combustion reaction that produces mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. For simplicity, assume that the fuel is C8H18 and has a density of 0.760 g/mL. (a) Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and 02 in the air before it goes into the cylinder; assume the atmospheric pressure is 734 mmHg. (b) Consider the case where the air, without any fuel added, is compressed in the cylinder to seven times atmospheric pressure, the compression ratio of many modem automobile engines. Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and O2 at this pressure. (c) Now consider the case where 0.050 mL gasoline is added to the air in the cylinder just before compression and completely vaporized. Assume that the volume of the cylinder is 485 mL and the temperature is 150C. Calculate the partial pressure of the gasoline vapor. (d) Calculate the amount (mol) of oxygen required to bum the gasoline in part (c) completely to CO2 and H2O. (e) The combustion reaction in the cylinder creates temperatures in excess of 1200K. Due to the high temperature, some of the nitrogen and oxygen in the air reacts to form nitrogen monoxide. If 10% of the nitrogen is converted to NO, calculate the mass (g) of NO produced by this combustion. (f) Hot-rod cars use another oxide of nitrogen, dinitrogen monoxide, to create an extra burst in power. When such a power boost is needed, dinitrogen monoxide gas is injected into the cylinders where it reacts with oxygen to form NO. Calculate the mass of dinitrogen monoxide that would have to be injected to form the same quantity of NO as produced in part (e). Assume that sufficient oxygen is present to do so.arrow_forwardA cylinder of compressed gas is labeled Composition (mole %): 4.5% H2S, 3.0% CO2, balance N2.
