The reaction 2KCIO3 (s) 2KCI (s) + 302 (g) represents a common laboratory procedure for producing small quantities of pure oxygen. A 0.250-L flask is filled with O2 that has been collected over water at an atmospheric pressure of 729 torr. The temperature of the water and the gas is 14 °C. Calculate the molar volume of oxygen at 0 °C and 760 torr. Note: The vapor pressure of H2O at 14.0 °C is 12.0 torr. Hint: "molar volume" is expressed as L/mol

93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)
Xenon and fluorine will react to form binary compounds when a mixture of these two gases is heated to 400C in a nickel reaction vessel. A 100.0-mL nickel container is filled with xenon and fluorine, giving partial pressures of 1.24 atm and 10.10 atm, respectively, at a temperature of 25C. The reaction vessel is heated to 400C to cause a reaction to occur and then cooled to a temperature at which F2 is a gas and the xenon fluoride compound produced is a nonvolatile solid. The remaining F2 gas is transferred to another 100.0-mL nickel container, where the pressure of F2 at 25C is 7.62 atm. Assuming all of the xenon has reacted, what is the formula of the product?
Nitrogen trifluoride is prepared by the reaction of ammonia and fluorine. 4 NH3(g) + 3 F2(g) 3 NH4F(s) + NF3(g) If you mix NH3 with F2 in the correct stoichiometric ratio, and if the total pressure of the mixture is 120 mm Hg, what are the partial pressures of NH3 and F2? When the reactants have been completely consumed, what is the total pressure in the flask? (Assume T is constant.)
105 The decomposition of mercury(II) thiocyanate produces an odd brown snake-like mass that is so unusual the process was once used in fireworks displays. There are actually several reactions that take place when the solid Hg(SCN)2 is ignited: 2Hg(SCN)2(s)2HgS(s)+CS2(s)+C3N4(s)CS2(s)+3O2(g)CO2(g)+2SO2(g)2C3N4(s)3(CN)2(g)+N2(g)HgS(s)+O2(g)Hg(l)+SO2(g) A 42.4-g sample of Hg(SCN)2 is placed into a 2.4-L vessel at 21°C. The vessel also contains air at a pressure of 758 torr. The container is sealed and the mixture is ignited, causing the reaction sequence above to occur. Once the reaction is complete, the container is cooled back to the original temperature of 21°C. (a) Without doing numerical calculations, predict whether the final pressure in the vessel will be greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure. Explain your answer. (b) Calculate the final pressure and compare your result with your prediction. (Assume that the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.21.)
In a typical automobile engine, a gasoline vapor-air mixture is compressed and ignited in the cylinders of the engine. This results in a combustion reaction that produces mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. For simplicity, assume that the fuel is C8H18 and has a density of 0.760 g/mL. (a) Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and 02 in the air before it goes into the cylinder; assume the atmospheric pressure is 734 mmHg. (b) Consider the case where the air, without any fuel added, is compressed in the cylinder to seven times atmospheric pressure, the compression ratio of many modem automobile engines. Calculate the partial pressures of N2 and O2 at this pressure. (c) Now consider the case where 0.050 mL gasoline is added to the air in the cylinder just before compression and completely vaporized. Assume that the volume of the cylinder is 485 mL and the temperature is 150C. Calculate the partial pressure of the gasoline vapor. (d) Calculate the amount (mol) of oxygen required to bum the gasoline in part (c) completely to CO2 and H2O. (e) The combustion reaction in the cylinder creates temperatures in excess of 1200K. Due to the high temperature, some of the nitrogen and oxygen in the air reacts to form nitrogen monoxide. If 10% of the nitrogen is converted to NO, calculate the mass (g) of NO produced by this combustion. (f) Hot-rod cars use another oxide of nitrogen, dinitrogen monoxide, to create an extra burst in power. When such a power boost is needed, dinitrogen monoxide gas is injected into the cylinders where it reacts with oxygen to form NO. Calculate the mass of dinitrogen monoxide that would have to be injected to form the same quantity of NO as produced in part (e). Assume that sufficient oxygen is present to do so.
A flask is first evacuated so that it contains no gas at all. Then, 2.2 g of CO2 is introduced into the flask. On warming to 22 C, the gas exerts a pressure of 318 mm Hg. What is the volume of the flask?
