Chapter 10, Problem 137a

The apparatus shown consists of three temperature-jacketed 1.000-L bulbs connected by stopcocks. Bulb A contains a mixture of H2O(g), CO2(g), and N2(g) at 25 °C and a total pressure of 564 mm Hg. Bulb B is empty and is held at a temperature of -70 °C. Bulb C is also empty and is held at a temperature of -190 °C. The stopcocks are closed, and the volume of the lines connecting the bulbs is zero. CO2 sublimes at -78 °C, and N2 boils at -196 °C.

(a) The stopcock between A and B is opened, and the system is allowed to come to equilibrium. The pressure in A and B is now 219 mm Hg. What do bulbs A and B contain?

Hi everyone. This problem reads The following apparatus shows three enclosed 30.500 liter bulbs connected by stop cocks bulb X at 200 degrees Celsius has a total pressure of millimeter of mercury and contains bromine gas, iodine gas and chlorine gas bulb Y. And bulbs E. Are both empty and held at a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius, respectively. Initially the stop cocks are closed. Assume that the volume of the lines joining the bulbs is negligible. When the stop cocks between X and Y opened and was allowed to reach equilibrium X and Y has a total pressure of 270 millimeters of mercury. What is contained in bulbs X and Y. Okay, so the question that we want to answer is what is contained in bulbs X and Y. Okay, So initially at 200°C, we're told that there is. Let's go ahead and write this down. There's bro mean gas, there is iodine gas and there is chlorine gas. Okay, so that is at 200°C at 95°C. What's going to happen? What's going to happen is the iodine gas is going to condense? Okay, so when it condenses it becomes I dine liquid, it becomes liquid. However, the browning gas and the chlorine gas At 95°C remains the same. Okay. Or it remains a gas. Okay, so in terms of the question, what is contained in bulbs X and Y. What we're going to say is bulb X is going to contain the chlorine gas and bro mean gas and bulb? Why contains chlorine gas, bro? Mean gas and iodine as a liquid? Okay, so this is going to be our final answer for what's contained in both bulbs. Okay, so that is the end of this problem. I hope this was helpful.

Pakistan's K2 is the world's second-tallest mountain, with an altitude of 28,251 ft. Its base camp, where climbers stop to acclimate, is located about 16,400 ft above sea level. (a) Approximate atmospheric pressure P at different altitudes is given by the equation P = e-h/7000, where P is in atmospheres and h is the altitude in meters. What is the approximate atmospheric pressure in mm Hg at K2 base camp?

A mixture of CS21g2 and excess O21g2 is placed in a 10.0-L reaction vessel at 100.0 °C and a pressure of 3.00 atm. A spark causes the CS2 to ignite, burning it completely, according to the equation CS21g2 + 3 O21g2¡CO21g2 + 2 SO21g2 After reaction, the temperature returns to 100.0 °C, and the mixture of product gases (CO2, SO2, and unreacted O2) is found to have a pressure of 2.40 atm. What is the partial pressure of each gas in the product mixture?
