Chapter 9: Q8 E (page 506)

During the Viking landings on Mars, the atmospheric pressure was determined to be on average about 6.50 millibars (1 bar = 0.987 atm). What is that pressure in torr and kPa?

Short Answer

Expert verified

One of the 4 basic states of matter is gas. Pure gas is made up of individual atoms, elemental molecules constructed from a single type of atom, or compound molecules created from a combination of atoms. A gas mixture, like the air, is made up of several separate pure gases.


Step by step solution

01

Define Gases

One of the 4 basic states of matter is gas. Pure gas is made up of individual atoms, elemental molecules constructed from a single type of atom, or compound molecules created from a combination of atoms. A gas mixture, like the air, is made up of several separate pure gases.

02

Evaluating pressure in torr and kPa

The value we have is:

1 torr = 0.001 bar

So, 6.5 millibar = (6.5) (0.001) bar

= 0.0065 bar

Now converting it into torr

We have:

1 bar =750.062 torr

So, we get

0.0065 bar = (0.0065) (750.062) torr

= 4.875 Torr

Then, converting it into kPa

We have is

1 bar = 100kPa

Then, we get

0.0065 bar = (0.0065) 脳 (100) kPa

= 0.65kPa

Therefore, the values are:

4.875 Torr

0.65kPa

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?

The pressure of a sample of gas is measured with an open-end manometer, partially shown to the right. The liquid in the manometer is mercury. Assuming atmospheric pressure is 29.92 in. Hg, determine the pressure of the gas in: (a) torr (b) Pa (c) bar.

Question: Explain why the numbers of molecules are not identical in the left- and right-hand bulbs shown in the centre illustration of Figure \({\rm{9}}{\rm{.27}}\).

A commercial mercury vapor analyzer can detect, in air, concentrations of gaseous Hg atoms (which are poisonous) as low as 2脳10-6mg/L of air. At this concentration, what is the partial pressure of gaseous mercury if the atmospheric pressure is 733 torr at 26 虋C?

Most mixtures of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas are explosive. However, a mixture that contains less than 3.0 % O2 is not. If enough O2 is added to a cylinder of H2 at 33.2 atm to bring the total pressure to 34.5 atm, is the mixture explosive?
