5.8 The question asks for moles, which can be obtained from P-V-T data using the ideal gas
PV
equation: n = .
RT

Now use the rearranged gas law to determine the number of moles in the sample:

PV (6.47 x 10 5 Pa)(5.65 x 10-4 m 3 )

n = = = 0.149 mol.
RT (8.314 molJ K )(21.7 + 273.15 K)

All conditions except the pressure and volume are fixed, so P1V1 = P2V2 can be used:
PV (647 kPa)(0.565 L)
V2 = 1 1 = = 3.62 L
P2 101 kPa

5.30 The ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, can be used to calculate moles using P-V-T data.
m
Molar mass is related to moles through n = . These equations yield two expressions
MM
for n,
PV m , from which mRT .
n= = MM =
RT MM PV

Begin by converting the initial data into the units of R:

T = 21.5 + 273.15 = 294.7 K,
& 10 '3 L #
V = 945 mL $$ !! = 0.945 L;
% 1 mL "

Use the modified ideal gas equation to obtain the molar mass:
(1.65 g)(8.206 x 10-2 mol K )(294.7 K)
L atm
MM = = 28.1 g/mol
(1.50 atm)(0.945 L)
Knowing that the compound contains only C, and H, find the formula by trial and error.
There are 2 C = 24.02 g/mol, leaving 4 g/mol = 4 H. C2H4 is the molecular formula.

5.86 Although this looks like a problem involving changing conditions, there is enough
information given to calculate P directly from the ideal gas equation.

5.80 Each part of this problem represents a change of one or more conditions, for which a
rearranged version of the ideal gas law can be used.
PV
(a) T and n are fixed, so PV = nRT = constant and Vf = i i
Pf
(322 torr)(2.00 L)
Vf = = 1.23 L
525 torr
(b) Here, pressure, temperature, and volume are changing. So the rearranged ideal gas
PV T
law is: Pf = i i f
Vf Ti
(322 torr)(2.00 L)(50.0 + 273.15)K
Pf = = 372 torr
(1.50 L)(100.00 + 273.15)K
(c) Here, only pressure and number of moles are changing. So the ideal gas
Pn
law can be rearranged to: Pf = i f
ni
(322 torr)(1 mol)
Pf = = 161 torr

5.18 Molecular speed is related to temperature and mass by urms = or ump = . In

5.24 Pressure is the cumulative effect of the impulses due to molecular collisions with the
walls.
(a) Pushing the piston in compresses the gas, so the molecular density increases. The
frequency of molecular collisions with the walls increases, causing the pressure to
increase.
(b) Removing gas reduces the molecular density. Consequently, the frequency of
molecular collisions with the walls decreases, causing the pressure to decrease.
(c) Heating the gas increases the average molecular speed. Consequently, the force
exerted per collision and the frequency of collisions with the walls both increase, causing
the pressure to increase.

5.74 For these problems we want to use PV = nRT.

(a) Since we know that both bulbs have the same volume then
nCl 2 PCl 2 TN 2 2 atm(298 K)
= = = 1.6 . Therefore, there are1.6 more moles of Cl2 than
nN 2 PN 2 TCl 2 1 atm(373 K)
N2, so there are also more molecules of Cl2.

(b) To determine mass you need to multiply moles by molar mass. Since
there are a greater number of moles of Cl2 gas and Cl2 has the higher molar mass it is
easy to see that the Cl2 bulb has more mass.

3RT
(c) Using the eqn: Ekinetic = ; , the bulb at the higher temperature will have the
2NA
higher kinetic energy. Again this bulb is the Cl2 bulb at 100 oC compared to the
nitrogen bulb at 25 oC.

(d) Using the eqn: urms = ! 3RT # we can determine the average molecular speed for

both bulbs.
3(8.314 J mol-1 K -1 )(373 K)
Cl2: urms = = 362 m/s
70.90 x 10-3 kg mol-1
3(8.314 J mol-1 K -1 )(298 K)
N2: urms = = 515 m/s
28.02 x 10-3 kg mol-1
Therefore, the N2 bulb has a higher average molecular speed.

5.40 To calculate partial pressures and mole fractions, first determine the number of moles of
each component of the gas mixture and then apply the ideal gas equation.
The equations needed to solve this problem are:
m n n RT
n= , Xi = i , pi = i
MM ntot V

& 1 mol #
n(Ar) = 1.25 g $$ !! = 3.13 x 10-2 mol;
% 39.95 g "
& 1 mol #
n(CO) = 1.25 g $$ !! = 4.46 x 10-2 mol;
% 28.01 g "
& 1 mol #
n(CH4) = 1.25 g $$ !! = 7.79 x 10-2 mol;
% 16.04 g "

T = 375 + 273.15 = 648 K;

Use the ideal gas equation to determine the partial pressures of each gas:
(3.13 x 10-2 mol)(8.206 x 10-2 LmolatmK )(648 K)
p(Ar) = = 0.416 atm;
4.00 L
(4.46 x 10 -2 mol)(8.206 x 10 -2 mol K )(648 K)
L atm
p (CO) = = 0.593 atm;
4.00 L
(7.79 x 10 -2 mol)(8.206 x 10 -2 mol K )(648 K)
L atm
p (CH 4 ) = = 1.04 atm;
4.00 L

Obtain the total pressure from the sum of the partial pressures:
Ptot = 0.416 atm + 0.593 atm + 1.04 atm = 2.05 atm;

Determine the mole fraction by dividing the moles of each component by the total
number of moles:
ntot = (3.13 + 4.46 + 7.79) x 10-2 mol = 1.538 x 10-1 mol;

 3.13 x 10-2 mol
X(Ar) = = 0.204;

X(CO) = = 0.290;
1.538 x 10-1 mol
7.79 x 10-2 mol
X(CH4) = = 0.507.
1.538 x 10-1 mol

5.88 Concentrations in parts per million can be converted to mole fractions, and the partial
pressure can then be calculated using pi = XiPtotal. To determine molecular concentration,
first use the ideal gas equation to calculate mol/L, then multiply by NA.
X(CO2) = (351.5 ppm)(10-6/ppm) = 3.515 x 10-4;
p(CO2) = (3.515 x 10-4)(1 atm) = 3.515 x 10-4 atm;

% 1 mol "% 1.0 L "

5.90 (a) To determine the number of moles of each gas we only need the information of the
individual containers. Moles can be calculated by direct application of the ideal gas
equation:
pV (2.0 atm)(15 L)
n (N 2 ) = = = 1.2 mol;
RT (8.206 x 10-2 mol K )(300 K)
L atm

pV (3.0 atm)(1.5 L)
n (O 2 ) = = = 0.18 mol;
RT (8.206 x 10-2 mol K )(300 K)
L atm

(b) Remember that the pressure of one gas will not affect the pressure of the other.
Therefore, treat the expansion as a change of volume at constant n and T, so
PV = constant, thus PfVf = PiVi

PiVi (2.0 atm)(15 L)

Pf (N 2 ) = = = 1.8 atm;
Vf (15 + 1.5 L)
PV (3.0 atm)(1.5 L)
Pf (O 2 ) = i i = = 0.27 atm;
Vf (15 + 1.5 L)
(c) The oxygen molecules will be distributed evenly throughout the volume, so the
fraction in the smaller chamber will be the fraction of that chamber’s volume relative to
V 1.5 L 1
the total volume. small = = . There will be 1/11 of them in the smaller
Vtotal 1.5 L + 15 L 11
container.

5.50 This is a stoichiometry problem that involves gases. We are asked to determine the mass
of product produced. Begin by analyzing the chemistry.

5
 The balanced chemical reaction is: 2 C2H4(g) + O2(g) → 2 C2H4O(g)

The problem gives information about the amounts of both starting materials, so this is a
limiting reactant situation. We must calculate the number of moles of each species,
construct a table of amounts, and use the results to determine the partial pressure.

Calculations of initial amounts:

Use the ideal gas equation to determine the initial amounts of each gas. The reactor
initially contains the gases in 1:1 mole ratio, so:

1.00 atm
pi = = 0.500 atm for each gas.

ni = i = = 5.51 x 10 2 mol;
RT (8.206 x 10-2 molL atm

Since both gases have the same initial amount, the limiting reactant will be the one with
the higher stoichiometric coefficient: C2H4 is limiting. Here is the complete amounts
table:

Reaction: 2 C2H4 (g) + O2(g) → 2 C2H4O (g)

Start (102 mol) 5.51 5.51 0.00

Change(102 mol) –5.51 –(0.5)(5.51) +5.51

Obtain the mass of product formed from the final amount in the table:

5.52 The yield in a reaction is the ratio of the actual amount produced to the theoretical
amount. The calculation in Problem 5.44 gives the theoretical amount:

5.94 This is an empirical formula problem, with P-V-T data added to allow calculation of the
molar mass. Use the combustion data to determine the mass percent composition of the
compound, then use elemental molar masses to find the empirical formula.

5.68 Assume that "warm moist" means that the air is saturated with water vapor at the
collection temperature, 30 oC. From Table 5-4, the partial pressure of water at this
