Which gas is most dense at \(1.00 \mathrm{~atm}\) and \(298 \mathrm{~K} ? \mathrm{CO}_{2}\), \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\), or \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\). Explain.
An herbicide is found to contain only \(C, H, N\), and \(C 1\) The complete combustion of a \(100.0-\mathrm{mg}\) sample of the herbicide in excess oxygen produces \(83.16 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and \(73.30 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) vapor at STP. A separate analysis shows that the sample also contains \(16.44 \mathrm{mg}\) of \(\mathrm{Cl}\). (a) Determine the percent composition of the substance. (b) Calculate its empirical formula.
Calculate each of the following quantities for an ideal gas: (a) the volume of the gas, in liters, if \(1.50 \mathrm{~mol}\) has a pressure of \(0.985\) atm at a temperature of \(-6{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ;\) (b) the absolute temperature of the gas at which \(3.33 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~mol}\) occupies \(325 \mathrm{~mL}\) at 750 torr; \((\mathrm{c})\) the pressure, in atmospheres, if \(0.0467 \mathrm{~mol}\) occupies \(413 \mathrm{~mL}\) at \(138^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ;\) (d) the quantity of gas, in moles, if \(55.7\) Lat \(54{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) has a pressure of \(11.25 \mathrm{kPa}\).
In an experiment reported in the scientific literature, male cockroaches were made to run at different speeds on a miniature treadmill while their oxygen consumption was measured. In one hour the average cockroach running at \(0.08 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}\) consumed \(0.8 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\overline{\mathrm{O}_{2}}\) at 1 atm pressure and \(24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) per gram of insect weight. (a) How many moles of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) would be consumed in \(1 \mathrm{hr}\) by a \(5.2-\mathrm{g}\) cockroach moving at this speed? (b) This same cockroach is caught by a child and placed in a \(1-\) qt fruit jar with a tight lid. Assuming the same level of continuous activity as in the research, will the cockroach consume more than \(20 \%\) of the available \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) in a \(48-\mathrm{hr}\) period? (Air is 21 mol percent \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\).)
Newton had an incorrect theory of gases in which he assumed that all gas molecules repel one another and the walls of their container. Thus, the molecules of a gas are statically and uniformly distributed, trying to get as far apart as possible from one another and the vessel walls. This repulsion gives rise to pressure. Explain why Charles's law argues for the kinetic- molecular theory and against Newton's model.
