A sample of unknown gas was heated to 125°C in a round bottom flask at standard pressure (1.00 atm), and its weight in a 100 ml round bottom flask was taken to be 30.098g. The round bottom flask weighs 30.0g. The gas was determined to be pure so that it can only be composed of a single element (N2, O2, F2, He, Ne, Ar, P2, S2, Cl2). Identify the gas.
A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas city (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11800 lb. of Jet A fuel. Jet A fuel is kerosene based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n = 6 to 16, so the Carbon:Hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the trip instead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 50 miles per gallon. (Assume the density of gasoline to be 0.75kg L-1 and that carbon and hydrogen dominate the composition in a ratio 1:2. The road trip is 1082 miles.
Knowing that the variation in the Earth's atmosphere is given byp = p0e^-Mgy/RTwhere we consider the uniform temperature T, M the molar mass, R the gas constant, and g the constant of gravity. Show that nV = nV0e^-Mgy/RT ;where nV is the number of molecules per unit volume.
Ozone is a trace atmospheric gas which plays an important role in screening the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, and the abundance of ozone is commonly reported in Dobson units. Imagine a column passing up through the atmosphere. The total amount of O3 in the column divided by its cross-sectional area is reported in Dobson units with 1 Du = 0.4462 mmol m−2. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical midlatitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00 dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the Earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?
5.(a) Assume for the moment that air consist of 80.00% nitrogen and 20.00% oxygen byvolume.

(b) This calculation affords a good approximation of the density of air at sea level.However, your lab is at an altitude approximately 777 meters (2550 feet). Knowingthis, will the density of air in you lab be higher or lower than the value you justcalculated? Why? (c) Besides altitude, what else affects the atmospheric pressure? Where could you findthe actual atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment?
