Chapter 10, Problem 68b

A sample of 5.00 mL of diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5,density=0.7134 g/mL) is introduced into a 6.00-L vessel that already contains a mixture of N2 and O2, whose partial pressures are 𝑃N2=0.751atm and 𝑃O2=0.208atm. The temperature is held at 35.0°C, and the diethyl ether totally evaporates. b. Calculate the total pressure in the container.

Video transcript

Hey everyone we have a nine liter gas canister and it contains a mixture of neon and Xenon at 28 degrees Celsius. We have the partial pressure of the two gasses which is 0.45 atmosphere 0.25 atmosphere. And we have a 7.5 millimeter sample of methanol with a density of 0.792 g per meal leader. That's introduced into the canister and were asked what is the total pressure in the canister. We need to first find the most of methanol. Then we can plug this into the ideal gas law to find the partial pressure of methanol. Have 7.5 mL. We have the density of methanol which is 0.792 grams per one male leader. They got the molar mass in one wall of methanol which is 12.11 g. Last four that was 1.8 g plus 15 0.999 grams. Would you give us 32.42 grams. When we get 0.185 malls of methanol. So now we can plug this into the ideal gas law which is P. V. Equals N. R. T. We can rearrange this is all for the pressure which is N. R. T. B. So we're looking for the pressure and we have 0. malls. The value of art is 0.8206 Leaders Times atmosphere. Not about malls Calvin. And the temperature is 28 degrees Celsius. We need to convert this to Calvin. So we're gonna add 273 15. Get 301.15 kelvin. Sophie plug this in. We're gonna get 0.185 Smalls time 0.8 to our sex. Later. Some atmosphere about moles times, Calvin times 301.15 kelvin provided by nine liters. The pressure of 0.58 atmosphere. Now we can find the total pressure. Using the partial pressure of methanol. Recall that the total pressure because the pressure of gas one plus the pressure of gas too. Plus the pressure of gas three for the total pressure. Can I have 0.4 fine atmosphere 0.25 atmosphere 0.508 atmosphere over the total pressure we get 1. atmosphere. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it's up for

A plasma-screen TV contains thousands of tiny cells filled with a mixture of Xe, Ne, and He gases that emits light of specific wavelengths when a voltage is applied. A particular plasma cell, 0.900 mm×0.300 mm×10.0 mm, contains Xe, Ne, and He atoms in a ratio of 1:12:12, respectively, at a total pressure of 500 torr at 298 K. Calculate the number of Xe, Ne, and He atoms in the cell.

Textbook Question

A piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) with a mass of 5.50 g is placed in a 10.0-L vessel that already contains air at 705 torr and 24°C. After the carbon dioxide has totally sublimed, what is the partial pressure of the resultant CO2 gas, and the total pressure in the container, at 24°C?

Textbook Question

A rigid vessel containing a 3:1 mol ratio of carbon dioxide and water vapor is held at 200°C where it has a total pressure of 2.00 atm. If the vessel is cooled to 10°C so that all of the water vapor condenses, what is the pressure of carbon dioxide? Neglect the volume of the liquid water that forms on cooling.

Textbook Question

A quantity of N2 gas originally held at 5.25 atm pressure in a 1.00-L container at 26°C is transferred to a 12.5-L container at 20°C. A quantity of O2 gas originally at 5.25 atm and 26°C in a 5.00-L container is transferred to this same container. What is the total pressure in the new container?
