Interpretation:
The final pressure of the gasin the atmosphere is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The combined gas law is the combination of three
Boyle’s states that at constant temperature, pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas. Charle’s law states that at constant pressure, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature. Avagadro’s law states that at constant temperature and pressure, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.
The combined gas law forms the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles. This can be shown by:

- 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_forwardGiven that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardPressures of gases in mixtures are referred to as partial pressures and are additive. 1.00 L of He gas at 0.75 atm is mixed with 2.00 L of Ne gas at 1.5 atm at a temperature of 25.0 C to make a total volume of 3.00 L of a mixture. Assuming no temperature change and that He and Ne can be approximated as ideal gases, what are a the total resulting pressure, b the partial pressures of each component, and c the mole fractions of each gas in the mix?arrow_forward
- Hydrogen gas is used in weather balloon because it is less expensive than Helium. Assume that 5.57 g of H2 is used to fill a weather balloon to an initial volume of 67 L at 1.04 atm. If the ballloon rises to an altitude where the pressure is 0.047 atm, what is its new volume? Assume that the temperature remains constant.arrow_forwardA sample of a smoke stack emission was collected into a 1.25-L tank at 752 mm Hg and analyzed. The analysis showed 92% CO2, 3.6% NO, 1.2% SO2, and 4.1% H2O by mass. What is the partial pressure exerted by each gas?arrow_forwardA 1.000-g sample of an unknown gas at 0C gives the following data: P(atm) V (L) 0.2500 3.1908 0.5000 1.5928 0.7500 1.0601 1.0000 0.7930 Use these data to calculate the value of the molar mass at each of the given pressures from the ideal gas law (we will call this the apparent molar mass at this pressure). Plot the apparent molar masses against pressure and extrapolate to find the molar mass at zero pressure. Because the ideal gas law is most accurate at low pressures, this extrapolation will give an accurate value for the molar mass. What is the accurate molar mass?arrow_forward
- A mixture at 33 °C contains H2at 325 torr. N;at 475 tore and O2at 650. torr. What is the total pressure of the gases in the system? Which gas contains the greatest number of moles?arrow_forwardA 275-mL sample of CO gas is collected over water at 31C and 755 mmHg. If the temperature of the gas collection apparatus rises to 39C, what is the new volume of the sample? Assume that the barometric pressure does not change.arrow_forwardSulfur trioxide, SO3, is produced in enormous quantities each year for use in the synthesis of sulfuric acid. S(s)+O2(g)SO2(g)2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g) What volume of O2(g) at 350.C and a pressure of 5.25 atm is needed to completely convert 5.00 g sulfur to sulfur trioxide?arrow_forward
