Question
Magnesium can be used as a “getter” in evacuated enclosures
to react with the last traces of oxygen. (The magnesium is
usually heated by passing an
or ribbon of the metal.) If an enclosure of 0.452 L has a partial
pressure of O2 of 3.5 x 10-6 torr at 27 °C, what mass of magnesium
will react according to the following equation?
2 Mg(s) + O2(g)------>2 MgO(s)

A sample of gas was contained in a 245 mL flask at a temperature of 23.5 °C and the pressure was found to be 48.5 mm Hg. The gas was immersed into a cold flask with a volume of 68 mL. What is the pressure of the gas in the smaller flask at a 19 °C temperature.arrow_forwardSometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water (see sketch at right). This makes it easy to isolate and measure the amount of gas produced. 2 Suppose the CO₂ gas evolved by a certain chemical reaction taking place at 40.0 °C is collected over water, using an apparatus something like that in the sketch, and the final volume of gas in the collection tube is measured to be 51.0 mL. g x10 X 歐 Sketch of a gas-collection apparatus S collected gas Calculate the mass of CO₂ that is in the collection tube.
