Chapter 9: Q20 E (page 508)

One way to state Boyle鈥檚 law is 鈥淎ll other things being equal, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.鈥� (a) What is the meaning of the term 鈥渋nversely proportional?鈥� (b) What are the 鈥渙ther things鈥� that must be equal?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) "Inversely proportionate" means that increasing one component causes the other to decrease.

(b) The number of gas particles and the temperature.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Boyle’s law

As per Boyle's law if the volume of a container rises, the pressure of a gas tends to decrease.

02

Explaining the meaning of the term “inversely proportional

(a)

The term "inversely proportionate" refers to the fact that increasing one component causes the other to decrease. In this case, a rise in pressure corresponds to a fall in volume, and vice versa.

03

Explaining what are the “other things” that must be equal

(b)

According to Boyle's law, the temperature and the number of gas particles must also be equal.

A high altitude balloon is filled with \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.41 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{\;L}}\) of hydrogen at a temperature of \({\rm{2}}{{\rm{1}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\) and a pressure of745 torr. What is the volume of the balloon at a height of20Km, where the temperature is \({\rm{ - 4}}{{\rm{8}}^{\rm{^\circ }}}{\rm{C}}\) and the pressure is \({\rm{63}}{\rm{.1 torr}}\)?

The effect of chlorofluorocarbons (such as \({\rm{CC}}{{\rm{l}}_2}\;{{\rm{F}}_2}\) ) on the depletion of the ozone layer is well known. The use of substitutes, such as \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}\;{\rm{F}}(g)\), for the chlorofluorocarbons, has largely corrected the problem. Calculate the volume occupied by \(10.0\;{\rm{g}}\)of each of these compounds at STP:

(a) \({\rm{CC}}{{\rm{l}}_2}\;{{\rm{F}}_2}(g)\)

(b) \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}\;{\rm{F}}(g)\)

A cylinder of a gas mixture used for calibration of blood gas analyzers in medical laboratories contains\({\rm{5}}{\rm{.0\% C}}{{\rm{O}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{, 12}}{\rm{.0\% }}{{\rm{O}}^{\rm{2}}}\), and the remainder \({{\rm{N}}^{\rm{2}}}\)at a total pressure of \({\rm{146}}\) atm. What is the partial pressure of each component of this gas? (The percentages given indicate the percent of the total pressure that is due to each component.)

A litre of methane gas, \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_4}\), at STP contains more atoms of hydrogen than does a litre of pure hydrogen gas, \({{\rm{H}}_2}\), at STP. Using Avogadro's law as a starting point, explain why.

The density of a certain gaseous fluoride of phosphorus is \(3.93\;{\rm{g}}/{\rm{L}}\)at STP. Calculate the molar mass of this fluoride and determine its molecular formula.
