A steel tank contains300 g of ammonia gas (NH3 ) at a pressure of1.35×106 pa and a temperature of 77 °C.

(a) What is the volume of the tank in liters?

(b) Later the temperature is 22 °Cand the pressure is8.7×105pa . How many grams of gas have leaked out of the tank?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The tank has a volume of 38L.
  2. The amount of gas that leaked out of the tank is71g.

Step by step solution

01

Concept

The ideal gas law states thatfor the change from the initial to the final state, the product of pressure, volume and reciprocal of absolute temperature, remains constant.It is given as-

pVT=constant

The ideal gas equation is given as-

pV=nRT ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(1)

Here,Pis pressure, V is volume,Tis temperature, R is the gas constant and is number of moles.

Step 2: Given Data

  1. The mass of ammonia Ms=300gm
  2. The initial pressure of the gasp1=1.35×106 P²¹
  3. The initial temperature of the gasT1=77°C=350‿é
  4. The final pressure of the gasp2=8.7×105 P²¹
  5. The final temperature of the gas T2=22 °C=295‿é
  6. The molar mass of ammonia M=17g/mol

Calculations

a.

The number of moles of ammonia gas are:

n1=samplemass(Ms)molarmass(M)

n1=300 g17 g/mol=17.65″¾´Ç±ô

Ammonia gas obeys the ideal gas equation.

pV=nRTV1=n1RT1P1

For the given values,

V1=17.65″¾´Ç±ô×8.31 J/Kâ‹…mol×350‿é1.35×106 P²¹=0.038″¾3=38 L

The tank’s volume is 38L..

b.

Let the volume of the gas in final state is V2. Thenumber of moles of the gas inside the tank is-

n2=p2V1RT2

For the given values,

n2=8.7×105 P²¹Ã—0.038″¾38.31 J/Kâ‹…mol×295‿é=13.45″¾´Ç±ô

Thus, the change in number of moles of the gas is

Δn=n1−n2=17.65″¾´Ç±ô−13.45″¾´Ç±ô=4.2″¾´Ç±ô

Next, we determine the change in the mass of the gas as

ΔMs=Δn×M

ΔMs=4.2″¾´Ç±ô×17 g/mol=71.4 g

Thus, the amount of gas leaked is 71.4 g³¾

Step 4: Conclusion

The volume of the tank of ammonia is 38Land the amount gas that leaked from the tank is 71.4 g³¾.

Question: Water bottle in a hot car. In the American southwest, the temperature in a closed car parked in sunlight during the summer can be high enough to burn flesh. Suppose a bottle of water at a refrigerator temperature of 75 0C. Neglecting the thermal expansion of water and the bottle, find the pressure in the air pocket trapped in the bottle. (The pressure can be enough to push the bottle cap past the threads that are intended to keep the bottle closed.)

At what temperature does the rms speed of

a) H2(Molecular hydrogen)

b)O2(Molecular oxygen)

equal the escape speed from Earth?

At what temperature does the rms speed of

c)H2(Molecular hydrogen)

d)O2(Molecular oxygen) equal the escape speed from the Moon (where the gravitational acceleration at the surface has magnitude )?

Considering the answers to parts (a) and (b), should there be much

e) Hydrogen

f) Oxygen high in Earth’s upper atmosphere, where the temperature is about 1000 K?

For a temperature increase ofΔT1, a certain amount of an ideal gas requires30 J when heated at constant volume and 50 Jwhen heated at constant pressure. How much work is done by the gas in the second situation?

It is found that the most probable speed of molecules in a gas when it has (uniform) temperatureT2is the same as the RMS speed of the molecules in this gas when it has (uniform) temperature,T1. CalculateT2/T1.

An ideal gas with3.00 molis initially in state 1with pressureP1=20.0atmand volumeV1=1500 cm3. First it is taken to state 2with pressureP2=1.50 P1and volumeV2=2.00 V1. Then it is taken to state 3with pressureP3=2.00 P1and volumeV3=0.500 V1. What is the temperature of the gas in
