Chapter 10: Problem 101

A sample of \(1.42 \mathrm{~g}\) of helium and an unweighed quantity of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) are mixed in a flask at room temperature. The partial pressure of helium in the flask is \(42.5\) torr, and the partial pressure of oxygen is 158 torr. What is the mass of the oxygen in the container?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass of the oxygen in the container is approximately \(4.03 \mathrm{~g}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write down given information and formulas

Given information: - Mass of helium: \(1.42 \mathrm{~g}\) - Partial pressure of helium: \(42.5 \mathrm{~torr}\) - Partial pressure of oxygen: \(158 \mathrm{~torr}\) Formulas: - Ideal Gas Law: \(PV = nRT\) - Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures: \(P_{total} = P_{He} + P_{O_2}\)
02

Calculate the moles of helium

First, we need to find the moles of helium using its mass and molar mass. The molar mass of helium is \(4.00 \mathrm{\frac{g}{mol}}\). Moles of helium: \(n_{He} = \frac{mass_{He}}{molar~mass_{He}}\) \(n_{He} = \frac{1.42 \mathrm{~g}}{4.00 \mathrm{~\frac{g}{mol}}}\) \(n_{He} = 0.355 \mathrm{~mol}\)
03

Calculate the total pressure in the flask

Using Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, calculate the total pressure in the flask. \(P_{total} = P_{He} + P_{O_2}\) \(P_{total} = 42.5 \mathrm{~torr} + 158 \mathrm{~torr}\) \(P_{total} = 200.5 \mathrm{~torr}\)
04

Use the Ideal Gas Law to determine the volume of the flask

We can use the Ideal Gas Law to find the volume of the flask containing helium, assuming that both gases occupy the same volume. Room temperature is assumed to be \(298 \mathrm{~K}\). We also need to convert the pressure from torr to atm using the conversion factor: \(1 \mathrm{~atm} = 760 \mathrm{~torr}\). \(PV = nRT\) Solve for \(V\): \(V = \frac{nRT}{P}\) Plug in the helium values and constants: \(V = \frac{0.355 \mathrm{~mol} \times 0.0821 \mathrm{~\frac{L \cdot atm}{mol \cdot K}} \times 298 \mathrm{~K}}{42.5 \mathrm{~torr} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~atm}}{760 \mathrm{~torr}}}\) The volume of the flask is: \(V = 2.46 \mathrm{~L}\)
05

Calculate the moles of oxygen

Using the Ideal Gas Law, we can now find the moles of oxygen in the flask. \(PV = nRT\) Solve for \(n\): \(n = \frac{PV}{RT}\) Insert the oxygen values: \(n_{O_2} = \frac{158 \mathrm{~torr} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~atm}}{760 \mathrm{~torr}} \times 2.46 \mathrm{~L}}{0.0821 \mathrm{~\frac{L \cdot atm}{mol \cdot K}} \times 298 \mathrm{~K}}\) \(n_{O_2} = 0.126 \mathrm{~mol}\)
06

Calculate the mass of oxygen

Now that we have the moles of oxygen, we can calculate its mass by multiplying the moles by the molar mass of oxygen. The molar mass of oxygen is \(32.00 \mathrm{\frac{g}{mol}}\). Mass of oxygen: \(mass_{O_2} = n_{O_2} \times molar~mass_{O_2}\) \(mass_{O_2} = 0.126 \mathrm{~mol} \times 32.00 \mathrm{~\frac{g}{mol}}\) \(mass_{O_2} = 4.03 \mathrm{~g}\) The mass of the oxygen in the container is approximately \(4.03 \mathrm{~g}\).

Briefly explain the significance of the constants \(a\) and \(b\) in the van der Waals equation.

A large flask is evacuated and weighed, filled with argon gas, and then reweighed. When reweighed, the flask is found to have gained \(3.224 \mathrm{~g}\). It is again evacuated and then filled with a gas of unknown molar mass. When reweighed, the flask is found to have gained \(8.102\) g. (a) Based on the molar mass of argon, estimate the molar mass of the unknown gas. (b) What assumptions did you make in arriving at your answer?

Gaseous iodine pentafluoride, \(\mathrm{IF}_{5}\), can be prepared by the reaction of solid iodine and gaseous fluorine: $$ \mathrm{I}_{2}(\mathrm{~s})+5 \mathrm{~F}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{IF}_{5}(g) $$ A 5.00-L flask containing \(10.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{I}_{2}\) is charged with \(10.0 \mathrm{~g}\) \(\mathrm{F}_{2}\), and the reaction proceeds until one of the reagents is completely consumed. After the reaction is complete, the temperature in the flask is \(125^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). (a) What is the partial pressure of \(\mathrm{IF}_{5}\) in the flask? (b) What is the mole fraction of \(\mathrm{IF}_{5}\) in the flask?

Calculate the number of molecules in a deep breath of air whose volume is \(2.25 \mathrm{~L}\) at body temperature, \(37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), and a pressure of 735 torr.

Does the effect of intermolecular attraction on the properties of a gas become more significant or less significant if (a) the gas is compressed to a smaller volume at constant temperature; (b) the temperature of the gas is increased at constant volume?
