Chapter 11, Problem 11.1QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference in the densities of liquid sulphur dioxide and gaseous sulphur dioxide has to be explained.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The density of liquid sulphur dioxide is higher than that of gaseous sulphur dioxide because the intermolecular forces in liquid are stronger enough to hold molecule close together but small enough that the molecules can move about.  The attractive forces are not strong enough to keep neighboring molecules in a fixed position and molecules are free and slide over each other.

In gases, the molecules are widely separated and the lack of any significant attractive force between molecules allows a gas to expand to fills its container.  The kinetic energy of the molecules is greater than any attractive forces between the molecules.

The difference in strength of intermolecular forces of liquid and gaseous sulphur dioxide causes a huge difference in their densities.

A gaseous mixture of O2 and N2 contains 35.8 % nitrogen by mass. What is the partial pressure of oxygen (in atm) in the mixture if the total pressure is 1 atm? Assume ideal behavior.
Ideal Gas Law A sample of liquid acetone is placed in a .035 L flask and vaporized by heating to 75°C at 102 atm. The vapor weighs 5.87 g Calculate the number of moles of the acetone.   where V = volume in liters  P = pressure in atmosphere n = moles  T=temperature in Kelvin R= universal gas constant,   =0.0821 L atm/mol. K    =8.314 L kPa/mol, K
The molar mass of a gas is determined as in the experiment described in Experiment 8. The mass is determined to be 2.01 g. The volume of the water, which is equal to the volume of the gas, is measured to be 243 mL, the boiling water temperature was 99.8°C and the barometric pressure was 755 mm Hg. Calculate the molar mass of the gas. Use 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K as the value of the ideal gas law constant, R. Enter the value of your answer only. The value you enter should be expressed in g/mol.
