Draw a highly magnified view of a sealed, rigid container filled with a gas. Then draw what it would look like if you cooled the gas significantly but kept the temperature above the boiling point of the substance in the container. Also draw what it would look like if you heated the gas significantly. Finally, draw what each situation would look like if you evacuated enough of the gas to decrease the pressure by a factor of 2

Short Answer

Expert verified
In summary, there are four scenarios to draw to visualize gas behavior in a sealed, rigid container at different temperatures and pressures: 1. Original state: Gas is evenly distributed with temperature (T) and pressure (P). 2. Gas cooled but above boiling point: Gas molecules are closer together with reduced temperature (T_cooled) and slightly reduced pressure (P_cooled). 3. Gas heated significantly: Gas molecules are further apart and appear to move faster with increased temperature (T_heated) and increased pressure (P_heated). 4. Reduced pressure by a factor of 2: For each scenario, draw half the number of gas molecules with respective temperature (T, T_cooled, and T_heated) and half of the original pressure (P/2, P_cooled/2, and P_heated/2).

Step by step solution

01

Draw the original state of the gas

To draw the original state, imagine a sealed, rigid container filled with a gas distributed evenly throughout. At this state, the gas molecules are moving at an average speed. Draw a magnified view with circles representing the gas molecules at random positions within the container. Indicate the temperature (T) and pressure (P) to represent the initial conditions.
02

Draw the gas after being cooled but still above boiling point

When the gas is cooled significantly but still above the boiling point, the gas remains in gaseous form and does not condense into liquid. The cooled gas molecules will move more slowly, and they will be closer together. Draw a magnified view of the container with the same number of circles representing the gas molecules, but now they are closer together. Indicate the reduced temperature (T_cooled) and the slightly reduced pressure (P_cooled).
03

Draw the gas after being heated significantly

When the gas is heated significantly, the molecules move more quickly and spread out further apart. Draw a magnified view of the container with the same number of circles representing the gas molecules, but now they are further apart and appear to move faster. Indicate the increased temperature (T_heated) and the increased pressure (P_heated).
04

Draw the situations with reduced pressure by a factor of 2

For each of the three cases described above, draw the same magnified view but now with only half the number of circles representing the gas molecules, since the pressure decreased by a factor of 2. In each case, indicate the respective temperature (T, T_cooled, and T_heated) and the new pressure, which is half of the original pressure in each situation (P/2, P_cooled/2, and P_heated/2). Now, you have successfully drawn all the required scenarios representing the gas behavior at different temperatures and pressures in a sealed, rigid container.

Given that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions \(0.78 \mathrm{N}_{2}, 0.21 \mathrm{O}_{2},\) and \(0.010 \mathrm{Ar},\) what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?

A \(20.0\) -\(\mathrm{L}\) stainless steel container at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) was charged with \(2.00\) atm of hydrogen gas and \(3.00\) atm of oxygen gas. A spark ignited the mixture, producing water. What is the pressure in the tank at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?\) If the exact same experiment were performed, but the temperature was \(125^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) instead of \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) what would be the pressure in the tank?

A compound has the empirical formula \(\mathrm{CHCI}\) A \(256-\mathrm{mL}\) flask, at \(373 \mathrm{K}\) and \(750 .\) torr, contains \(0.800 \mathrm{g}\) of the gaseous compound. Give the molecular formula.

The total volume of hydrogen gas needed to fill the Hindenburg was \(2.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{L}\) at 1.0 atm and \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Given that \(\Delta H_{\mathrm{f}}^{\circ}\) for \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) is \(-286 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol},\) how much heat was evolved when the Hindenburg exploded, assuming all of the hydrogen reacted to form water?

The oxides of Group \(2 \mathrm{A}\) metals (symbolized by M here) react with carbon dioxide according to the following reaction: $$\mathrm{MO}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{MCO}_{3}(s)$$ A \(2.85\) \(-\mathrm{g}\) sample containing only \(\mathrm{MgO}\) and \(\mathrm{CuO}\) is placed in a 3.00 -L container. The container is filled with \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) to a pressure of \(740 .\) torr at \(20 .^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). After the reaction has gone to completion, the pressure inside the flask is \(390 .\) torr at \(20 .^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What is the mass percent of \(MgO\) in the mixture? Assume that only the \(MgO\) reacts with \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
