Interpretation:
Atmospheric pressure measured at
Concept introduction:
Pressure is expressed as force exerted per unit area. Pressure of gas is measured by the pressure a gas exerts on the walls of its container. There are various units present to measure pressure of a gas. For example, millimeters of mercury, pounds per square inch,

- A 275-mL sample of CO gas is collected over water at 31C and 755 mmHg. If the temperature of the gas collection apparatus rises to 39C, what is the new volume of the sample? Assume that the barometric pressure does not change.arrow_forwardA typical barometric pressure in Kansas City is 740 torr. What is this pressure in atmospheres, in millimeters of mercury, and in kilopascals?arrow_forwardA gas effuses through an opening one-fifth as fast as helium gas effuses through the same opening. (a) Is the gas heavier than helium? (b) What is the molar mass of the gas?arrow_forward
- 47 HCl(g) reacts with ammonia gas, NH3(g), to form solid ammonium chloride. If a sample of ammonia occupying 250 mL at 21 C and a pressure of 140 torr is allowed to react with excess HCl, what mass of NH4Cl will form?arrow_forwardA mixture at 33 °C contains H2at 325 torr. N;at 475 tore and O2at 650. torr. What is the total pressure of the gases in the system? Which gas contains the greatest number of moles?arrow_forward54 One way to generate oxygen is to heat potassium chlorate, KClO3. (The other product is potassium chloride.) If 386 mL of oxygen at 41 C and 97.8 kPa is generated by this reaction, what is the minimum mass of KClO3used?arrow_forward
- A 19.9-mL volume of a hydrochloric acid solution reacts completely with a solid sample of magnesium carbonate, producing 183 mL of CO2 that is collected over water at 24.0C and 738 torr total pressure. The reaction is 2HCl(aq)+MgCO3(s)CO2(g)+H2O(l)+MgCl2(aq) What is the molarity of the HCl solution?arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forwardAs 1 g of (lie radioactive element radium decays over 1 year. k produces 1.161018 alpha particles (helium nuclei). Each alpha particle becomes an atom of helium gas. What is the pressure ¡n pascal of the helium gas produced if it occupies a volume of 125 mL at a temperature of 25 C?arrow_forward
- Two identical He-filled balloons, each with a volume of 20 L, are allowed to rise into the atmosphere. One rises to an altitude of 3000 m while the other rises to 6000 m. a Assuming that the balloons are at the same temperature, which balloon has the greater volume? b What information would you need in order to calculate the volume of each of the balloons at their respective heights?arrow_forwardYou have an equimolar mixture of the gases SO2 and O2, along with some He, in a container fitted with a piston. The density of this mixture at STP is 1.924 g/L. Assume ideal behavior and constant temperature and pressure. a. What is the mole fraction of He in the original mixture? b. The SO2 and O2 react to completion to form SO3. What is the density of the gas mixture after the reaction is complete?arrow_forwardA certain flexible weather balloon contains helium gas at a volume of 855 L. Initially, the balloon is at sea level where the temperature is 25C and the barometric pressure is 730 torr. The balloon then rises to an altitude of 6000 ft, where the pressure is 605 torr and the temperature is 15C. What is the change in volume of the balloon as it ascends from sea level to 6000 ft?arrow_forward
