Chapter 9: Q95E (page 513)

Question:A 1-L sample of CO initially at STP is heated to 5460C, and its volume is increased to 2-L. (a) What effect do these changes have on the number of collisions of the molecules of the gas per unit area of the container wall? (b) What is the effect on the average kinetic energy of the molecules? (c) What is the effect on the root mean square speed of the molecules?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The collision will not change.
  2. The average kinetic energy increases.
  3. The root mean square increases by \(\sqrt {\rm{2}} \) times.

Step by step solution

01

Define Gas

A gas is made up of particles with no definite volume or structure.

02

Explanation of the effect

  1. The number of collisions between the gas molecules per unit area of the container wall does not change. Therefore, it remains constant.
03

Explanation of the effect on average kinetic energy

b. The temperature goes up. As a result, because kinetic energy is related to temperature, the average kinetic energy rises as well. Therefore, the temperature increases.

04

Explanation of the effect on root mean square

c. The root mean square is obtained as:

\(\begin{array}{c}{{\rm{u}}_{{\rm{rms}}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rm{2K}}{{\rm{E}}_{{\rm{avg}}}}}}{{\rm{m}}}} \\{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{u}}_{{\rm{rms}}}}{\rm{\alpha }}\sqrt {{\rm{2K}}{{\rm{E}}_{{\rm{avg}}}}} .\end{array}\)


Therefore, the root mean square increases by the value of \(\sqrt {\rm{2}} \) times.

A cylinder of a gas mixture used for calibration of blood gas analyzers in medical laboratories contains\({\rm{5}}{\rm{.0\% C}}{{\rm{O}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{, 12}}{\rm{.0\% }}{{\rm{O}}^{\rm{2}}}\), and the remainder \({{\rm{N}}^{\rm{2}}}\)at a total pressure of \({\rm{146}}\) atm. What is the partial pressure of each component of this gas? (The percentages given indicate the percent of the total pressure that is due to each component.)

Question: Starting with the definition of rate of effusion and Graham’s finding relating rate and molar mass, show how to derive the Graham’s law equation, relating the relative rates of effusion for two gases to their molecular masses.

A mixture of \(0.200\;{\rm{g}}\) of \({{\rm{H}}_2},1.00\;{\rm{g}}\) of \({{\rm{N}}_2}\), and \(0.820\;{\rm{g}}\)of \({\rm{Ar}}\)is stored in a closed container at STP. Find the volume of the container, assuming that the gases exhibit ideal behaviour.

The effect of chlorofluorocarbons (such as \({\rm{CC}}{{\rm{l}}_2}\;{{\rm{F}}_2}\) ) on the depletion of the ozone layer is well known. The use of substitutes, such as \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}\;{\rm{F}}(g)\), for the chlorofluorocarbons, has largely corrected the problem. Calculate the volume occupied by \(10.0\;{\rm{g}}\)of each of these compounds at STP:

(a) \({\rm{CC}}{{\rm{l}}_2}\;{{\rm{F}}_2}(g)\)

(b) \({\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_3}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{H}}_2}\;{\rm{F}}(g)\)
