Question
-
An investigator is told that a closed vessel holds a pure rare gas. She measures the density of the gas in the vessel at 298 K and 1 atm pressure and finds it to be 0.8252 g/L.
-
If she assumes that the vessel contains a pure gas, what gas does the investigator think is in the vessel?
-
After turning in her report, she is told that the vessel actually contains a mixture of He and Ar. What percentage of the gas in the container is He?

- A 44.0 L metal cylinder stores a sample of gas at 6 °C under 1.02 atm. The temperature of the storage unit rises to 76 °C, causing the gas to decompose and doubling the number of moles in the cylinder. Note: R = 0.08206 Latm/molK Determine the moles of gas in the cylinder before any decomposition occurs. Determine the pressure in the cylinder after the decomposition in atmospheres.arrow_forwardYou start with an equimolar mixture of the gases SO₂ and O₂ in a container. The SO₂ and O₂ react to completion to form SO₃. If the temperature after the reaction is 25°C and the pressure in the container is 2.35 atm, what is the density of the product gas mixture, in g/L?
