Interpretation:
Atmospheric pressure measured at
Concept introduction:
Pressure is expressed as force exerted per unit area. Pressure of gas is measured by the pressure a gas exerts on the walls of its container. There are various units present to measure pressure of a gas. For example, millimeters of mercury, pounds per square inch,

- A 275-mL sample of CO gas is collected over water at 31C and 755 mmHg. If the temperature of the gas collection apparatus rises to 39C, what is the new volume of the sample? Assume that the barometric pressure does not change.arrow_forwardA typical barometric pressure in Kansas City is 740 torr. What is this pressure in atmospheres, in millimeters of mercury, and in kilopascals?arrow_forwardA gas effuses through an opening one-fifth as fast as helium gas effuses through the same opening. (a) Is the gas heavier than helium? (b) What is the molar mass of the gas?arrow_forward
- 47 HCl(g) reacts with ammonia gas, NH3(g), to form solid ammonium chloride. If a sample of ammonia occupying 250 mL at 21 C and a pressure of 140 torr is allowed to react with excess HCl, what mass of NH4Cl will form?arrow_forwardA mixture at 33 °C contains H2at 325 torr. N;at 475 tore and O2at 650. torr. What is the total pressure of the gases in the system? Which gas contains the greatest number of moles?arrow_forward54 One way to generate oxygen is to heat potassium chlorate, KClO3. (The other product is potassium chloride.) If 386 mL of oxygen at 41 C and 97.8 kPa is generated by this reaction, what is the minimum mass of KClO3used?arrow_forward
