Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The gas that will reach the end of the tube first needs to be determined, if both valves to bulb A and B are opened one by one.
Concept introduction:
The process by which the gas molecules escape from a region of high pressure to the region of low pressure is known as effusion.
For two gas molecules A and B, the time required for effusion is expressed as below:
Where time1 and time2 is the time of effusion for gas 1 and 2. MM1 and MM2 is molar mass of gas A and B respectively.
(b)
Interpretation:
The change in the contents of the bulbs needs to be determined, if both the gases are required to each the end of the tube one by one.
Concept introduction:
Effusion is the process of escape of gas molecules from a high-pressure region to low pressure region through a pinhole. For two gas molecules A and B, the time required for effusion is expressed as below:
Where time1 and time2 is the time of effusion for gas 1 and 2. MM1 and MM2 is molar mass of gas A and B respectively.

- How does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardLiquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forwardYou have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardA sample of a smoke stack emission was collected into a 1.25-L tank at 752 mm Hg and analyzed. The analysis showed 92% CO2, 3.6% NO, 1.2% SO2, and 4.1% H2O by mass. What is the partial pressure exerted by each gas?arrow_forward
