Chapter 1, Problem 1.40ASP
Butane (C4H8) is an easily compressible gas used in cigarette lighters. It has a melting point of –138.4 °C and a boiling point of –0.5 °C. Would you expect a butane lighter to work in winter when the temperature outdoors is 25 °F? Why or why not? (Refer to Figure 1.9.)

Heliox is a helium‑oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment.
A 5.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1734 psi. A second 5.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 461.0 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 5.25 L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank? Assume ideal gas behavior.
STP (standard temperature and pressure) is used as a reference point for the molar volume of an ideal
gas. In the USA, most chemists, most general chemistry texts, and OWL use STP =0°C, 1 atm, where
the molar volume = 22.4 L/mol. If the reference pressure is chosen to be 1 bar, the molar volume is
22.7 L/mol. Do not confuse the two.
A 0.99 mol sample of hydrogen gas occupies a volume of
L at STP.
A 1.23 g sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) was burned in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter, which alone had a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ/°C, CONTAINED 745 G OF WATER. The temperature of the calorimeter and its contents increased from 23.77 °C to 27.95 °C. What is ΔH (in kJ) for the combustion of 1.00 mol of acetic acid is 60 g/mol.
