- You have two pressure-proof steel cylinders of equal volume, one containing 1.0 kg of CO and the other containing 1.0 kg of acetylene, C2H2. (a) In which cylinder is the pressure greater at 25 C? (b) Which cylinder contains the greater number of molecules?arrow_forwardThe density of air at 20C and 1.00 atm is 1.205 g/L. If this air were compressed at the same temperature to equal the pressure at 50.0 m below sea level, what would be its density? Assume the barometric pressure is constant at 1.00 atm. The density of seawater is 1.025 g/cm3.arrow_forwardA sample of 3.42 mol of xenon is confined at low pressure in a volume at a temperature of 86 °C. Describe quantitatively the effects of each of the following changes on the pressure, the average kinetic energy per molecule in the gas, and the root-mean-square speed. (a) The temperature is increased to 199 °C (b) The volume is tripled. (c) The amount of xenon is decreased to 1.87 mol Give each answer as a decimal factor of the form: new value factor old value. A factor of 1 means no change. ChangeP KEavgmsarrow_forward
- 4(a) A car tyre (an automobile tire) was in ated to a pressure of 24 lb in−2(1.00 atm = 14.7 lb in−2) on a winter’s day when the temperature was −5 °C. What pressure will be found, assuming no leaks have occurred and that the volume is constant, on a subsequent summer’s day when the temperature is 35 °C? What complications should be taken into account in practice? (b) A sample of hydrogen gas was found to have a pressure of 125 kPa when the temperature was 23 °C. What can its pressure be expected to be when the temperature is 11 °C?arrow_forwardThe partial pressure of water vapor in saturated air at 27 °C is 3.51×10-2 atm. (a) How many molecules of water are in 1.21 cm3 of saturated air at 27 °C? (b) What volume of saturated air at 27 °C contains 0.408 mol of water?arrow_forwardA 5.50-mole sample of NH3 gas is kept in a 1.85-L container at 309 K. If the van der Waals equation is assumed to give the correct answer for the pressure of the gas, calculate the percent error made in using the ideal-gas equation to calculate the pressure. (Use a = 4.17 atm·L2·mol−2 and b = 0.0371 L·mol−1 for the van der Waals equation.)arrow_forward
