Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The conversion of pressure values from torsional to Pascal’s has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Pressure of the various fluids or gases can be analyzed from the instrument known as manometer.
Pressure or Stress is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area.
SI derived unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).
Millimetres of mercury
Millimeters of mercury is a manometric unit of pressure, it is well-defined as the added pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimetre high. It is represented by the symbol
(b)
Interpretation:
The conversion of pressure values from atmospheres to millimetres of mercury has to be calculated.

- 5-114 Carbon dioxide gas, saturated with water vapor, can be produced by the addition of aqueous acid to calcium carbonate based on the following balanced net ionic equation: (a) How many moles of wet CO (g), collected at 60.°C and 774 torr total pressure, are produced by the complete reaction of 10.0 g of CaCO3 with excess acid? (b) What volume does this wet CO2 occupy? (c) What volume would the CO2 occupy at 774 torr if a desiccant (a chemical drying agent) were added to remove the water? The vapor pressure of water at 60.°C is 149.4 mm Hg.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_forward5-25 A gas in a bulb as in Figure 5-3 registers a pressure of 833 mm Hg in the manometer in which the reference arm of the U-shaped tube (A) is sealed and evacuated. What will the difference in the mercury levels be if the reference arm of the U-shaped tube is open to atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg)?arrow_forward
- perform stoichiometric ca1cu1uions for reactions involving gases as reactants or products.arrow_forwardA 19.9-mL volume of a hydrochloric acid solution reacts completely with a solid sample of magnesium carbonate, producing 183 mL of CO2 that is collected over water at 24.0C and 738 torr total pressure. The reaction is 2HCl(aq)+MgCO3(s)CO2(g)+H2O(l)+MgCl2(aq) What is the molarity of the HCl solution?arrow_forwardMany nitrate salts can be decomposed by heating. 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? Heating copper(II) nitrate produces nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas and leaves a residue of copper(ll) oxide.arrow_forward
- Ethanol, C2H5OH, is produced industrially from ethylene, C2H4, by the following sequence of reactions: 3C2H4+2H2SO4C2H5HSO4+( C 2 H 5)2SO4C2H5HSO4+( C 2 H 5)2SO4+3H2O3C2H5OH+2H2SO4 What volume of ethylene at STP is required to produce 1.000 metric ton (1000 kg) of ethanol if the overall yield of ethanol is 90.1%?arrow_forward47 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_forwardA 21.4-mL volume of hydrochloric acid reacts completely with a solid sample of MgCO3. The reaction is 2HCl(aq)+MgCO3(s)CO2(g)+H2O(l)+MgCl2(aq) The volume of CO2 formed is 159 mL at 23C and 731 mmHg. What is the molarity of the HCl solution?arrow_forward

A 2.000-L flask is filled with CO gas to a pressure of 748 torr at 350.0 K, and then 5.00 g of Ni is added. If the reaction describe occurs and goes to completion at constant temperature, what will the final pressure in the falsk be?arrow_forwardA 0.105-g sample of a gaseous compound has a pressure of 561 mm Hg in a volume of 125 mL at 23.0 C.
