Question
Sulfur hexafluoride or sulphur hexafluoride, formula SF6, is a colorless, odorless, non-
flammable, and non-toxic gas.
SF, is 23,500 times more potent than CO₂ as a greenhouse gas but exists in relatively
minor concentrations in the atmosphere. Its concentration in Earth's troposphere
reached 10.63 parts per trillion (ppt) in 2021, rising at 0.39 ppt/year.
The electrical power industry used about 80% of the sulfur hexafluoride produced in
2000, mostly as a gaseous dielectric medium. Other main uses as of 2015 included a
silicon etchant for semiconductor manufacturing, and an inert gas for the casting of
magnesium. It is also the "air" in sneakers with little windows in the soles like Nike Air.
1. What is the theoretical pressure of 27.7 g sulfur hexafluoride in a 3 L round bottom
flask at 13 °C ? (Show all work-including equations used written out unsubstituted!)
2. Is your answer correct?
Hint-hint:
The only way to do this from this level and chapter was to assume it was an ideal gas.
Is sulfur hexafluoride an ideal gas?
Demonstrate Why? Or Why not? Show it and write it!
