QUESTION ANSWER

1.

What is the pressure in pascals if a force of 4.88 kN is pressed against an area of 235 cm2?

1.

208,000 Pa

3.

What is the final temperature of a gas whose initial conditions are 667 mL, 822 torr, and 67°C and whose final volume and pressure are 1.334 L and 2.98 atm, respectively? Assume the amount remains constant.

3.

1,874 K

5.

Propose a combined gas law that relates volume, pressure, and amount at constant temperature.

5.

7.

A sample of 6.022 × 1023 particles of gas has a volume of 22.4 L at 0°C and a pressure of 1.000 atm. Although it may seem silly to contemplate, what volume would 1 particle of gas occupy?

7.

3.72 × 10−23 L

9.

Use two values of R to determine the ratio between an atmosphere and a torr. Does the number make sense?

9.

1 atm = 760 torr

11.

At an altitude of 40 km above the earth’s surface, the atmospheric pressure is 5.00 torr, and the surrounding temperature is −20°C. If a weather balloon is filled with 1.000 mol of He at 760 torr and 22°C, what is its

  1. initial volume before ascent?
  2. final volume when it reaches 40 km in altitude? (Assume the pressure of the gas equals the surrounding pressure.)

11.

  1. 24.2 L
  2. 3155 L

13.

Air, a mixture of mostly N2 and O2, can be approximated as having a molar mass of 28.8 g/mol. What is the density of air at 1.00 atm and 22°C? (This is approximately sea level.)

13.

1.19 g/L

15.

On the surface of Venus, the atmospheric pressure is 91.8 atm, and the temperature is 460°C. What is the density of CO2 under these conditions? (The Venusian atmosphere is composed largely of CO2.)

15.

67.2 g/L

17.

HNO3 reacts with iron metal according to

Fe(s) + 2HNO3(aq) → Fe(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g)

In a reaction vessel, 23.8 g of Fe are reacted but only 446 mL of H2 are collected over water at 25°C and a pressure of 733 torr. What is the percent yield of the reaction?

17.

3.99%
