A 20.0Ltank containsof helium at. The molar mass of helium is 4.00 g/mol. (a) How many moles of helium are in the tank? (b) What is the pressure in the tank, in pascals and in atmospheres?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)There are 0.122moles of Helium in the tank.

(b)The pressure in the tank in Pascals is , and in atmospheres, it is .

Step by step solution

01

Relations for number of moles and pressure

The number of moles n is the ratio of mass to molecular mass, and is expressed as, n=mMwhere n is the number of moles, m is the mass of the sample taken, and M is the molecular mass.

Pressure is calculated from the ideal gas equation PV=nRT where P is the pressure, V , the volume, T the temperature, n the number of moles.

Rearranging, the expression of pressure is obtained as P=nRTV…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦(1)

02

Calculation of number of moles

Given the values of mass m as 4.86*10-4kgand molar mass M as 4.00g/mol=4.00*10-3kg/mol.

Substitute the values of m and M in the expression for number of moles n=mM,

n=mMn=4.86*10-44*10-3n=0.1215moles

Hence, the number of moles is 0.1215.

03

Calculation of pressure

Given the values of number of moles n as 0.1215, temperature T as 18.0°C which is 18+273=291 , volume V as 20L =20*10-3m3

The universal gas constant R=8.314J×mol-1×K-1.

Substituting the values of n, R, T, V in the equation for pressureP=nRTV

P=nRTVP=0.1215*8.314*29120*10-3P=14697P=1.4697*104Pa

Thus, the value of pressure in Pascals is 1.4697*104Pa.

Convert the value in pascals into that in atmosphere by the relation 1atm=1.013*105Pa

Thus,Patm=PPa1.013Patm=1.4697*1041.013*105Patm=0.1451atm

Hence, the value of pressure in atmosphere is 0.1451atm.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?
