Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forwardTime Left:0:55:00 A student completes the experiment The Universal Gas Constant and obtains the following data for one trial. mass of magnesium (g): Initial gas volume (ml): Final Volume (mL): Temperature (°C): Atmospheric pressure (inHg): Ah (cm of water): F3 80 모 Calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen, PH2, for this trial.

- Describe in your own words the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases tells us that the energy content of any gas is related only to its temperature. It also tells us that it is possible to compute the "RMS" (root mean squared) velocity of any gas molecule if you know its formula weight and its temperature. Using this information describe how you might compute the RMS velocity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere of the planet Venus (T = 820 F), the RMS velocity of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere of Earth (T = 50 F), or the RMS velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars (T = - 80 F).arrow_forwardThere are two particles, one is heavy and the other is light. The light particles diffuse faster than the heavy particles. This relationship is known as Graham’s Law of Effusion. Since both gases are at the same temperature, they must have the same average kinetic energy (½ mv2), where m is mass and v is the velocity (like speed). Since both gases have the same average kinetic energy, you can state that ½ mLvL2 = ½ mHvH2. Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you mLvL2 = mHvH2. Rearranging the equation to get both masses on the same side of the equation will give you mL/mH = VH2/VL2. In 3a and 3b, you probably noticed that the heavy gas particles took twice as long to diffuse as the light gas particles. This means that the light gas particles are moving twice as fast, VH/VL = ½. Therefore, VH2/VL2 = ¼. How many times heavier is the heavy gas compared to the light gas? If the light gas was Ne, what would be a reasonable identity for the heavy gas?arrow_forwardIf it takes 25 seconds for a 2.0 L sample of carbon dioxide to escape through a small hole in a container, how long will it take an equal volume of hydrogen to escape under the same conditions?arrow_forward
- How fast will nitrogen gas travel if carbon dioxide moves at a rate of 9.56 x 1026 molecules per minute?arrow_forwardThe world burns approximately 3.7 * 1012 kg of fossil fuel per year. Use the combustion of octane as the representative reaction and determine the mass of carbon dioxide (the most significant greenhouse gas) formed per year. The current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approximately 399 ppm (by volume). By what percentage does the concentration increase each year due to fossil fuel combustion? Approximate the average properties of the entire atmosphere by assuming that the atmosphere extends from sea level to 15 km and that it has an average pressure of 381 torr and average temperature of 275 K. Assume Earth is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6371 km.arrow_forwardConsider a reaction between a 3.44 L flask containing nitrogen gas and a 18 L flask of hydrogen gas. Both gases have a temperature of 296 K and the pressures inside both flasks is 1.01 bar. What mass of ammonia (in g) would you expect to be produced at temperature 296 K and a pressure of 1.01 bar?arrow_forward
