- A mixture of xenon and argon gases, in a 9.94 L flask at 74 °C, contains 23.9 grams of xenon and 5.38 grams of argon. The partial pressure of argon in the flask is atm and the total pressure in the flask is atm.arrow_forwardA weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 29.8 L at a pressure of 753 mmHg and a temperature of 25.3 ∘C. The balloon rises in the atmosphere to an altitude where the pressure is 390. mmHg and the temperature is -16.7 ∘C. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.arrow_forwardAn engineer turns the temperature of a gas down, holding the volume constant at 1,250 L. Initially, the temperature of the gas was 602.°C and had a pressure of 291. kPa. Determine the pressure of the gas when the temperature decreased to 157°C.arrow_forward
- Roasting galena [lead(II) sulfide] is an early step in the industrial isolation of lead. How many liters of sulfur dioxide, measured at STP, are produced by the reaction of 6.45 kg of galena with 145. L of oxygen gas at 220 °C and 2.00 atm? Lead(II) oxide also forms. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures. Note: Reference the Fundamental constants table for additional information.
