The average air pressure in Lhasa, Tibet, is about 65.2 kPa. What is this in atmospheres?
atmExplanation1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 760 mmHg. 65.2 kPa × = 0.643 atm, or about 489 mmHg: only about two-thirds of sea-level pressure, which is why newcomers feel short of breath there.

A sealed aerosol can holds gas at 2.50 atm at 20 °C. If it is thrown into a fire and the gas reaches 150 °C (the can’s volume doesn’t change), what is the pressure inside, in atm?
atmExplanationAt constant volume, pressure is proportional to the Kelvin temperature. Convert first: T₁ = 20 + 273.15 = 293.15 K, T₂ = 150 + 273.15 = 423.15 K. = 2.50 atm × 423.15 ÷ 293.15 = 3.61 atm. Using °C directly would give 18.8 atm, which is wrong. That’s why aerosol cans warn you to keep them away from heat.

A weather balloon holds 5.00 L of gas at ground level (1.00 atm, 20 °C). What is its volume high in the atmosphere, at 0.262 atm and −40 °C? (The balloon doesn’t burst.)
LExplanationUse the combined gas law, , with Kelvin temperatures: T₁ = 20 + 273.15 = 293.15 K, T₂ = −40 + 273.15 = 233.15 K. V₂ = V₁ × × = 5.00 L × 1.00 ÷ 0.262 × 233.15 ÷ 293.15 = 15.2 L. The lower pressure makes the gas expand; the cold shrinks it a little, but the pressure effect is much larger.

At STP (0 °C and 1 atm), which sample of gas takes up the largest volume?
ExplanationAt the same temperature and pressure, a gas’s volume depends only on the number of moles, not on which gas it is. Convert each to moles: 0.30 mol : 0.30 mol; 6.4 g : 0.10 mol; molecules of : 0.50 mol; 4.48 L of at STP: 0.20 mol. molecules is 0.50 mol, the most, so it takes up about 0.50 × 22.4 = 11.2 L.

A 20.0-L steel cylinder of oxygen is at and 25 °C. What is the mass of the oxygen inside, in kilograms?
kgExplanationFrom PV = nRT, n = = = 122.6 mol. m = 122.6 mol × 32.00 g/mol = 3.92 × 103 g = 3.92 kg. With P in atm and V in L, use R = 0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K).

A container holds a mixture of He and CH₄ at one temperature. Which statement is true?
ExplanationAverage kinetic energy depends only on temperature, so at the same temperature He and CH₄ have the same average kinetic energy. With equal ½mv², the lighter molecule moves faster: the ratio of root-mean-square speeds is v(He) : v(CH₄) = = = 2.00, so He molecules move about twice as fast.

A 5.00-L flask contains 1.60 g of CH₄ and 4.40 g of CO₂ at 25 °C. Find the partial pressure of CO₂ in atm.
atmExplanationIn a mixture, each gas behaves as if it had the whole container to itself: its partial pressure is its own nRT ÷ V, whatever else is present (so the 1.60 g of CH₄ isn’t needed). n(CO₂) = 4.40 ÷ 44.01 = 0.09998 mol, and P(CO₂) = 0.09998 × 0.08206 × 298.15 ÷ 5.00 = 0.489 atm.

3.40 g of hydrogen peroxide decomposes with MnO₂ as a catalyst: . What volume of O₂ forms, measured at STP?
LExplanationn(H₂O₂) = 3.40 ÷ 34.02 = 0.09994 mol. The equation gives 1 mol O₂ per 2 mol H₂O₂, so n(O₂) = 0.04997 mol. At STP, V = 0.04997 mol × 22.4 L/mol = 1.12 L.

At the same temperature and pressure, 20 mL of CO and 20 mL of O₂ are mixed and ignited: . After the reaction, back at the original temperature and pressure, what is the total volume of gas?
ExplanationAt the same temperature and pressure, volume ratios equal mole ratios, so the coefficients apply directly to volumes: 20 mL of CO uses 10 mL of O₂ and makes 20 mL of CO₂, leaving 20 − 10 = 10 mL of O₂. The gas afterward is 20 mL of CO₂ plus 10 mL of O₂, 30 mL in all. Counting only the CO₂ (20 mL) forgets the excess O₂.

Cotton soaked in concentrated ammonia is placed at one end of a 100-cm glass tube and cotton soaked in concentrated hydrochloric acid at the other. NH₃ and HCl travel toward each other at the same time, and where they meet a white ring of NH₄Cl forms. Using Graham’s law to estimate, how far from the ammonia end does the ring form, in cm?
cmExplanationRates are inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass: = 1.463. Both start at the same moment and reach the meeting point together, so the distances are in the ratio of the rates: NH₃ covers 1.463 ÷ (1 + 1.463) of the tube, 100 × 1.463 ÷ (1 + 1.463) = 59.4 cm. Lighter NH₃ moves faster, so the ring forms nearer the HCl end.
