- Imagine that you have air in a sealed glass container that has a volume of 1 liter. The pressure inside the container is 1013 hPa and the temperature is 20◦C. You now inject cloud droplets into the chamber without letting any air leak out. The droplets have a radius of 10 micrometers, and you inject a concentration of drops that is typical of what you find in a cloud (200 drops per cm3). Will there be a change in the gas pressure? If so, by what amount? Please provide a calculation. What does your answer tell you about the presence of particles in the atmosphere and their potential influence on pressure?arrow_forwardplease help me out. details and explanations are very much appreciated.arrow_forward.. 9.

- HW1. Due: 02/08/2024. 1. The density of dry air at p = 1.0 bar and T =300 K is 1.161 kg/m³. Assuming it consists entirely of N₂ and O₂ and using the ideal gas law, determine the amount of each gas in moles in a volume of 1 m³ and their mole fractions. 2. (a) Calculate the amount of gas in moles per cubic meter of atmosphere at p = 1 atm and T = 298 K using the ideal gas equation. (b) The atmospheric content of CO₂ is about 360 ppmv (parts per million by volume). Assuming a pressure of 1.00 atm, estimate the amount of CO₂ in a 10.0 km layer of the atmosphere at the surface of the earth. The radius of the earth is 6370 km. (The actual amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere is about 6.0 x 1015 mol.) 3. The van der Waals parameter b is a measure of the volume excluded due to the finite size of the molecules. Estimate the size of a single molecule from the data given below.

Density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. Therefore, density of a solid is typically greater than the density of liquid. However, this is not true for ice (solid water) and liquid water as the density of solid is less that the liquid (Ice floats in water). Explain why this discrepancy occurs in terms of the mass and volume. Solid Liquid Gasarrow_forwardAtmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true. When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant. At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1010 (10 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container.arrow_forward
