(a)
Interpretation:
The species from the given pairs with greater value of Vander Waal constant ‘a’ and ‘b’ needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The gases cannot behave ideally at all values of temperature and pressure.Therefore,the Vander Waal equation is introduced to explain the volume change and intermolecular force of attraction between gas particles.
Vander Waal constant ‘a’ indicates the intermolecular force of attraction between gas particles whereas ‘b’ indicates the volume correction of the molecule.

- Given 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_forwardAt the critical point for carbon dioxide, the substance is very far from being an ideal gas. Prove this statement by calculating the density of an ideal gas in g/cm3 at the conditions of the critical point and comparing it with the experimental value. Compute the experimental value from the fact that a mole of CO2 at its critical point occupies 94 cm3.arrow_forward5-107 If 60.0 g of NH3 occupies 35.1 L under a pressure of 77.2 in. Hg, what is the temperature of the gas, in °C?arrow_forward

What is the molar mass of the gas?arrow_forwardEXERSICE 7 (A) Let A and B be two ideal gases at the same temperature. If mÃ>m³ (where mÃ, m³ are the masses of molecules of gases A and B, respectively) and EA, E, the average kinetic energies of the two gases, choose the correct phrase, giving a justification. (1) EA = EB (ii) EA > EB (iii) EA < EB (iv) Data are insufficient to compare EA, EB.arrow_forward
- In 1897 the Swedish explorer Andree tried to reach the North Pole in a balloon. The balloon was filled with hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas was prepared from iron splints and diluted sulfuric acid. The reaction is Fe(a) + H,S0, (ag) + PeSO(og) + H;(s) The volume of the balloon was 4800 m and the loss of hydrogen gas during filling was estimated at 20% What mass of iron splints and 98 (by mas) H,S0, were nooded to enre the complete filling of the balloon? Assume a temperature of oC, a presaure of 10 atm during filling nd 100 yield. Mass of Fe Mass of HaS0, -arrow_forwardNatural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6). A typical mixture might have mole fraction of methane = 0.915 and mole fraction of ethane = 0.085. (a) What are the partial pressure of the two gases in a 14.10 L container of natural gas at 30 degrees Celcius and 1.34 atm? (b) Assuming complete combustion of both gases in the natural gas sample, what is the total mass of water formed? Hint: Write the balanced combustion chemical equation for each gas separately in the gas mixture to find the mass of water formed.arrow_forwardThe human body burns glucose C6H12O6 for energy according to this chemical reaction:→+C6H12O66O2+6CO26H2O. The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O. 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.mLof 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 3.0kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 2.00kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO2 is 2.0/kgm3arrow_forward
- A gas mixture contains 4.5 mol Br, and 33.1 mol F,. (a) Compute the mole fraction of Br, in the mixture. (b) The mixture is heated above 150°C and starts to react to give BrFs: Br2(g) + 5 F2(g) –→ 2 BrF;(g) At a certain point in the reaction, 2.2 mol BrF5 is present. Determine the mole fraction of Br2 in the mixture at that point.arrow_forward(a) A mixture contains 30 mol% oxygen, 20 mol% hydrogen and the balance is CH4.Determine the SG of this mixture compared to air at the same temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardWhile ethanol CH3CH2OH is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene CH2CH2 with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 200.mL flask with 1.2atm of ethylene gas and 1.3atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 0.25atm of ethylene gas and 0.35atm of water vapor. The engineer then adds another 0.30atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time.
