- What possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forwardYou have two pressure-proof steel cylinders of equal volume, one containing 1.0 kg of CO and the other containing 1.0 kg of acetylene, C2H2. (a) In which cylinder is the pressure greater at 25 C? (b) Which cylinder contains the greater number of molecules?arrow_forwardPredict the results of passing a direct electrical current through (a) molten NaBr, (b) aqueous NaBr. and (c) aqueous SnCl2.arrow_forward
- When solid calcium carbonate is reacted with aqueous hydrochloric acid, the products of the reaction include aqueous calcium chloride, liquid water, and gaseous carbon dioxide. Calculate the volume of CO₂ gas (in L) collected over water at 25.0 °C when 25.1 g of calcium carbonate is added to excess hydrochloric acid if the total pressure is 911 mm Hg. The vapor pressure of water at 25.0 °C is 23.8 mm Hg.arrow_forward73. A 500.-mL sample of O2 gas at 24 °C was prepared by decomposing a 3% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2 O2, in the presence of a small amount of manganese catalyst by the reaction 2H2 O2 (aq) → 2H2O (g) + The oxygen thus prepared was collected by displacement of water. The total pressure of gas collected was 755 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of O2 in the mixture? How many moles of O2 are in the mixture? (The vapor pressure of water at 24 °C is 23 mm Hg.)arrow_forwardOxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation:2KClO3(s)2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)The product gas, O2, is collected over water at a temperature of 25 °C and a pressure of 757 mm Hg. If the wet O2 gas formed occupies a volume of 8.90 L, the number of moles of KClO3 reacted was mol. The vapor pressure of water is 23.8 mm Hg at 25 °C.arrow_forward
- If helium is released into one end of a glass tube of 2.00 meters at the same time krypton is released into the other end of the tube, how far from the helium end will the two gasses meet?arrow_forwardA gaseous mixture of O2 and N2 contains 35.8 % nitrogen by mass. What is the partial pressure of oxygen (in atm) in the mixture if the total pressure is 1 atm? Assume ideal behavior.arrow_forwardWhen solid calcium carbonate is reacted with aqueous hydrochloric acid, the products of the reaction include aqueous calcium chloride, liquid water, and gaseous carbon dioxide. Calculate the volume of CO₂ gas collected over water at 25.0 °C when 39.5 g of calcium carbonate is added to excess hydrochloric acid if the total pressure is 911 mm Hg. The vapor pressure of water at 25.0 °C is 23.8 mm Hg.arrow_forward
