The pressure of a gas at the triple point of water is 1.35 atm. If its volume remains unchanged, what will its pressure be at the temperature at which CO2 solidifies?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The pressure at the triple point where the CO2 solidifies is 0.964 atm .

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Identification of given data

Pressure of a gas at the triple point of water is P1=1.35atm

02

Concept of Triple point.

Triple point is a singular point designating pressure and temperature at which the three phases. i.e. solid, liquid and gas of any pure substance can exist at the same time while in equilibrium.

03

Determination of the pressure at the temperature where CO2 solidifies.

The volume in this case is constant. Therefore, the relation connecting the temperature and pressure is,T2T1=P2P1, Here, T is in units of K

Solve for P2,

P2=P1T2T1

For CO2, T1=Ttriple=273.16K and temperature at which the CO2 solidifies isT2=TCO2=195K

Substitute all the values in the above equation,

P2=(1.35atm)195K273.16K=0.964atm

Thus, the pressure at which CO2 solidifies is 0.964 atm

For a gas of nitrogen moleculesN2 , what must the temperature be if 94.7% of all the molecules have speeds less than (a) 1500 m/s (b) 1000 m/s (c) 500 m/s ? Use Table 18.2. The molar mass of N2 is 28 g/mol.

(a) Compute the specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas, and compare it with the specific heat of liquid water. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol. (b) you warm 1.00 kg of water at a constant volume of 1.00 L from 20.0°C to 30.0°C in a kettle. For the same amount of heat, how many kilograms of 20.0°C air would you be able to warm to 30.0°C? What volume (in litters) would this air occupy at 20.0°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm? Make the simplifying assumption that air is 100% N2

On a warm summer day, a large mass of air (atmospheric pressure1.01×105Pa) is heated by the ground to26°C 26.0°C and then begins to rise through the cooler surrounding air. (This can be treated approximately as an adiabatic process; why?) Calculate the temperature of the air mass when it has risen to a level at which atmospheric pressure is only0.850×105Pa. Assume that air is an ideal gas, with y= 1.40. (This rate of cooling for dry, rising air, corresponding to roughly 1 C° per 100 m of altitude, is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate.)

During an isothermal compression of an ideal gas, 410 J of heat must be removed from the gas to maintain constant temperature. How much work is done by the gas during the process?

A physics lecture room at 1.00 atm and 27.0°C has a volume of 216 m3. (a) Use the ideal-gas law to estimate the number of air molecules in the room. Assume that all of the air is N2. Calculate (b) the particle density—that is, the number of N2 molecules per cubic centimeter—and (c) the mass of the air in the room.
