Problems


1. Derive an expression for the gas density (m/V) by using the Ideal Gas Law and the relationship between moles of a gas and its mass (m).


2. A gaseous sample of a compound has a gas density of 0.977 g/L at 710.0 torr and 100.0°C. What is the molar mass of this compound? If this compound contains only nitrogen and hydrogen and is 87.4% nitrogen by mass, what is the molecular formula of the compound?


3. The valve between a 10 L tank containing a gas at 7 atm and a 15 L tank containing a gas at 10 atm is opened. What is the final pressure in the tanks?


4. Which of the following statements is/are correct according to the Ideal Gas Law for a gas cylinder of fixed volume filled with one mole of oxygen.

  1. When the temperature of the cylinder changes from 15°C to 30°C, the pressure inside the cylinder doubles.
  2. When a second mole of oxygen is added to the cylinder, the ratio T/P remains constant.
  3. An identical cylinder filled with the same pressure of hydrogen contains more molecules because hydrogen is smaller than oxygen.
  4. When a second mole of oxygen is added to the cylinder, the ratio T/P decreases by 50%.
  5. None of the above are correct.
