5. An experiment is performed to measure the mass percent of CaCO3(s) in eggshells. Five different
samples of CaCO3(s) of known mass react with an excess of 2.0M HCl(aq) in identical sealed, rigid reaction
vessels. The pressure of the gas produced is measured with a pressure gauge attached to the reaction
vessel. Since the reaction is exothermic, the reaction system is cooled to its original temperature before
Cooling the HCl(aq) to a lower temperature than it was in the original experiment

A steel cylinder contains 5.00 moles graphite (pure carbon) and 5.00 moles O2. The mixture is ignited and all the graphite reacts. Combustion
produces a mixture of CO gas and CO2 gas. After the cylinder has cooled to its original temperature, it is found that the pressure of the
cylinder has increased by 40.0%. Calculate the mole fractions of CO, CO2, and O2 in the final gaseous mixture.

- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy?
