- Gases are different from solids and liquids. In a sample of gas, the molecules are far apart. The gas molecules also move around and collide with each other as well as with the walls of the container. These collisions generate pressure. The pressure of a gas can be measured in different units. One convenient unit of measure is called the atmosphere (atm) because it is based on atmospheric pressure. At sea level, the average pressure is 1 atm. As you get higher in altitude, the pressure steadily drops until you leave the atmosphere, where the pressure is very close to 0 atm. The table below shows the different commonly used units of measuring gas pressure. Use this table in the pressure unit conversions.

Graham’s Law of Effusion says that the rate of effusion of a gas from a particular hole is inversely proportional to the square root of the MW of the gas (at constant temperature and pressure).

If the collision cross-section, o, of 9 × 10-19 m² remains unchanged, what is the change in collision rate if the temperature is cooled to 170 K? Note: the relative average speed is assumed to remain unchanged. 17arrow_forwardThe rate of effusion of CH_4 gas through a porous barrier is observed to be mol/h. 2.96 x 10^-4 Under the same conditions, the rate of effusion of Kr gas would bearrow_forward
- 6. On a certain day a laboratory barometer indicates that the atmospheric pressure is 786.2 torr. A sample of gas is placed in a flask attached to an open-end mercury manometer, and a meter stick is used to measure the height of the mercury in the two arms of the U tube. The height of the mercury in the open-end arm is 80.4 mm, and the height in the arm in contact with the gas in the flask is 123.5 mm. What is the pressure of the gas in the flask (a) in atmospheres, (b) in kilopascals?arrow_forwardA sample of O2 gas is observed to effuse through a porous barrier in 7.64 minutes.
