Concept explainers
Interpretation: The volume of the tank in liters, amount of methane gas in grams, and the temperature of the tank in Kelvin should be determined.
Concept introduction: An arithmetical multiplier which is used for converting a quantity expressed in one unit into another equivalent set of units is said to be conversion factor.
The relation between mass, molar mass and number of moles is represented as follows:
Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature.
Answer to Problem 1QAP
Volume of the tank is 37.9 L
Mass of the gas is 19.89 g
The temperature in Kelvin is 296.48 K.
Explanation of Solution
Volume of a gas in a container is equal to the volume of the container. Conversion factor for gallon to liters is as follows
Convert 10 gallons into liters using the conversion factor.
Therefore, volume of the tank is 37.9 L
Mass of a gas is equal to the product of its number of moles and molar mass.
Molar mass of methane, CH4 is 16 g/mol.
Therefore, mass of the methane gas is 19.89 g.
Expression for the conversion of temperature from
Plug in the given details in the expression for conversion of temperature,
Hence, the temperature in Kelvin is 296.48 K.
Thus, the volume of the tank is 37.9 L
Mass of the gas is 19.89 g
The temperature in Kelvin is 296.48 K.

- A cylinder with a movable piston contains 2.00 gg of helium, HeHe, at room temperature. More helium was added to the cylinder and the volume was adjusted so that the gas pressure remained the same. How many grams of helium were added to the cylinder if the volume was changed from 2.00 LL to 3.50 LL ? (The temperature was held constant.) Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward. Water has a density of 0.96 g mL- at its boiling point of 100 °C under standard atmo- spheric pressure. The density of water vapor is about 1600 times less than the density of water under the same conditions.

Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500. mL of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO₂ and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 2.8 kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 0.50 kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO₂ is 2.0 kg/m³.arrow_forwardUsing stoichiometry, you calculate that you will create 0.43 moles of carbon dioxide when you react baking soda with vinegar to fill up a balloon.
