Explanation: P2 = 2 P1 T1 = 68 C + 273 = 205 K T2 = ? Applying the Gay-Lussac law, P1 P2 = T1 T2 P2 T1 2 P1 (205 K) T2 = = P1 P1 = 410 K = 137 C 002 10.0 points The same number of grams of NH3 and O2 are placed in separate bulbs of equal volume and temperature under conditions when both gases behave ideally. Which statement is true? 1. The pressure in the O2 bulb is greater than the pressure in the NH3 bulb. 2. Both bulbs contain the same number of moles of gas. 3. The bulb containing O2 contains more molecules of gas.

4. The pressures in the two bulbs are the same. 5. The pressure in the NH3 bulb is greater than the pressure in the O2 bulb. correct Explanation: The molecular weight of NH3 is less than that of O2 , so in equal masses there are more moles of NH3 than of O2 . At the same volume and temperature, the larger number of moles of NH3 would exert a higher pressure. 003 10.0 points Balance the equation C2 H6 + O2 CO2 + H2 O

using the smallest possible integers. The sum of the coecients is 1. 19. correct 2. 4. 3. 9. 4. 10. Explanation: A balanced equation must have the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation. We nd the number of each kind of atom using equation coecients and composition stoichiometry. For example, we nd there are 4 C atoms on the reactant side: ? C atoms = 2 C2 H6 2C = 4C. 1 C2 H 6

The balanced equation is 2 C2 H6 + 7 O2 4 CO2 + 6 H2 O and has 4 C, 12 H, and 14 O atoms on each side. ? sum coecients = 2 + 7 + 4 + 6 = 19 004 10.0 points In the chemical reaction 2 H2 O + energy 2 H2 + O2

? molH2 O = 78.0 g H2 O = 4.33 mol H2 O

1 mol H2 O 18.0152 g H2 O

Since the stoichiometric ratio CaCN2 to H2 O is 1 to 3, to react completely 1.31 mol CaCN2 we will require to use: 3 1.31 = 3.93 mol H2 O We calculated that we have 4.33 mol H2 O. Therefore water is in excess: 4.33 3.93 = 0.40 mol H2 O

105.0 g CaCN2 and 78.0 g H2 O are reacted. Assuming 100% eciency, which reactant is in excess and how much is leftover? The molar mass of CaCN2 is 80.11 g/mol. The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.09 g/mol. 1. CaCN2 ; 7.20 g left over 2. H2 O; 10.7 g left over 3. H2 O; 7.20 g left over correct 4. H2 O; 70.8 g left over 5. CaCN2 ; 70.8 g left over 6.

powerful experiment to gather evidence concerning the velocity distribution of a sample of gas particles. His experiment revealed that the velocities of gases: 1. Are distributed in a characteristic manner across a range of temperatures that depends on the molar mass of the gas, but not the temperature of the gas. 2. Are distributed in a characteristic manner across a range of temperatures that depends on the temperature of the gas, not the molar mass of the gas. 3. Are distributed in a characteristic manner across a range of temperatures that depends on the molar mass of the gas and the temperature of the gas. correct 4.

The number of molecules in each balloon 1. could be dierent if the lling gases are dierent. 2. would be the same only if the lling gases are the same. 3. must be dierent. 4. must be the same. correct Explanation: P1 = P2 V1 = V2 PV P V = n R T, so R = nT Thus P1 V1 P2 V2 = n2 T2 n1 T1 T1 = T2

If you could look into the tank and see the gas molecules, what would you observe? 1. The molecules would move to the center of the tank because their velocities would be lower, thus giving them less pressure. 2. The gas molecules would become uniformly distributed near the entire wall of the tank because the molecules would try to escape the container due to their kinetic energies. 3. The molecules would sink to the bottom of the tank because of the loss of pressure. 4. The gas molecules would still be uniformly distributed around the tank because gases expand to ll up the whole volume due to their constant molecular motion. correct 5. The gas molecules would have higher kinetic energies and lower velocities, thus creating no net change. Explanation: The average kinetic molecular energy would decrease, but since it is still in gas phase, the molecules would still expand uniformly to ll the tank. 012 10.0 points A gas sample occupies 3.59 L at 8.0 C.

2. high temperatures and low pressures. correct 3. high pressures and low molar masses. 4. high temperatures and high pressures. 5. low temperatures and high pressures. Explanation: At high temperatures the gas molecules are moving more rapidly and the eects of the attractive forces are less signicant. At low pressures the molecules are on average much further apart and the eects of the attractive forces are less signicant because there are fewer close encounters.

There are Avogadros number of ethanol molecules in one mole of ethanol. We need the molecular mass of ethanol so we can convert grams of ethanol to moles ethanol: Molecular mass of CH3 CH2 OH = 2(12.01 g/mol) + 6(1.01 g/mol) +1(16.00 g/mol) = 46.08 g/mol

Isoamyl acetate (C7 H14 O2 ) is a chemical compound that has a strong odor similar to bananas. At room temperature, the rms velocity of a isoamyl acetate molecule in the gas phase is approximately 240 m s1 . About how long will it take an isoamyl acetate molecule to diuse 24 m across a room lled with air at SATP? 1. About 0.1 second, since it is traveling 240 m s1 . 2. The molecule will never diuse across the room because it is too large.

Version 398 UNIT 1 EXAM vandenbout (51335) 3. Faster than 0.1 second, since 240 m s1 is the rms velocity which is not the same as the average velocity. 4. Much longer than 0.1 second, because the molecule will have many collisions with other gas molecules. CORRECT Explanation: Because the isoamyl acetate will undergo many (too many too count) collisions it will take much much much longer than 0.1 second to diuse 24 m. The answer could only be 0.1 seconds if the molecule had no collisions with other gas molecules. It is true that the rms velocity is not the average. It is also true that there is a distribution of velocities and some molecules will be moving faster. However, they will also undergo many many collisions causing them to take much more than 0.1 s to move 24 m. 020 10.0 points Use van der Waals equation to calculate the pressure exerted by 1.25 mol of ammonia at 0.1 C in a 1.54 L container.
