Concept Introduction:
An ideal gas contains a large number of randomly moving particles that are supposed to have perfectly elastic collisions among themselves. It is a theoretical concept. Gases that show perfect elastic collision are practically not possible. At higher
Ideal

Empirical formula represents simplest positive integer ratio of atoms in the compound. It only gives proportions of elements in compound. Molecular formula consists of chemical symbols for the respective elements followed by numeric subscript that denotes the number of atom of each element present in molecule.

- You 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_forwardGiven that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardIn the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)arrow_forward
