Interpretation:
The total pressure (in atm) of a 15.0-L container at 28°C that contains N2, O2 and Cl2 has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
- An ideal gas has is a hypothetical gas that is formed by a few molecules so that, its density is low, and the intermolecular forces are null. The model of gas facilitates mathematical calculations to study gases.
- The ideal
gas law can be expressed in the following way,
Where P is the gas pressure (atm), V is the gas volume (L), T is the gas absolute temperature (K), n is the moles number of the gas and R is the ideal gas constant (
- The ideal gas mixture is a mixture of two or more ideal gases that has the following characteristics,
- Each component of the mixture behaves as ideal gas that occupies all the mixture volume at the mixture temperature.
- Each component exercises a partial pressure. The sum of the partial pressure of the components is equal to the total pressure of the mixture.
- The mole fraction is the ratio between the moles number of the component in the mixture and the total number of moles of gas in the mixture. It can be expressed in the following way,
Where, yi is the molar fraction of component i, ni is the moles number of component i and n total is the total moles number of the mixture.
- The partial pressure is the pressure that a gas of the mixture exercises if it occupies all the volume of the mixture.
- The partial pressure of each component in the mixture is directly proportional to its molar fraction. It can be expressed in the following way,
Where, Pi is the partial pressure of component i, Ptotal is the total pressure of the mixture and yi is the molar fraction of component i.

- 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_forwardIf equal masses of O2 and N2 are placed in separate containers of equal volume at the same temperature, which of the following statements is true? If false, explain why it is false. (a) The pressure in the flask containing N2 is greater than that in the flask containing O2. (b) There are more molecules in the flask containing O2 than in the flask containing N2.arrow_forwardSilane, SiH4, is the silicon analogue of methane, CH4. It is prepared industrially according to the following equations: Si(s)+3HC1(g)HSiCl3(l)+H2(g)4HSiCl3(l)SiH4(g)+3SiCl4(l) a.

- As 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_forwardPyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardYou have a 550.-mL tank of gas with a pressure of 1.56 atm at 24 C. You thought the gas was pure carbon monoxide gas, CO, but you later found it was contaminated by small quantities of gaseous CO2 and O2. Analysis shows that the tank pressure is 1.34 atm (at 24 C) if the CO2 is removed. Another experiment shows that 0.0870 g of O2 can be removed chemically. What are the masses of CO and CO2 in the tank, and what is the partial pressure of each of the three gases at 25 C?arrow_forward
- A halothane-oxygen mixture (C2HBrCIF3 + O2) can be used as an anesthetic. A tank containing such a mixture has the following partial pressures: P (halothane) = 170 mm Hg and P (O2) = 570 mm Hg.

For example, blue, anhydrous copper(II) nitrate produces the gases nitrogen dioxide and oxygen when heated. In the laboratory, you find that a sample of this salt produced a 0.195-g mixture of gaseous NO2 and O2 with a total pressure of 725 mm Hg at 35 C in a 125-mL flask (and black, solid CuO was left as a residue). What is the average molar mass of the gas mixture? What are the mole fractions of NO2 and O2 in the mixture? What amount of each gas b in the mixture? Do these amounts reflect the relative amounts of NO2 and O2 expected based on the balanced equation? Is it possible that the fact that some NO2 molecules combine to give N2O4 plays a role?
