Chapter 6: Problem 1

Convert each pressure to an equivalent pressure (a) 736 mmHg; (b) 0.776 bar; in atmospheres. (c) 892 Torr; (d) 225 kPa.

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) The equivalent of 736 mmHg in atmospheres is approximately 0.97 atm. (b) The equivalent of 0.776 bar in atmospheres is approximately 0.77 atm. (c) The equivalent of 892 torr in atmospheres is approximately 1.17 atm. (d) The equivalent of 225 kPa in atmospheres is approximately 2.22 atm.

Step by step solution

01

Convert mmHg to atm

To convert 736 mmHg to atmospheres, the conversion factor 760 mmHg = 1 atm is used. So, (736 mmHg/760) gives the equivalent in atmospheres.
02

Convert bar to atm

To convert 0.776 bar to atmospheres, the conversion factor 1.01325 bar = 1 atm is used. So, (0.776 bar/1.01325) gives the equivalent in atmospheres.
03

Convert Torr to atm

To convert 892 torr to atmospheres, the conversion factor 760 torr = 1 atm is used. So, (892 torr/760) gives the equivalent in atmospheres.
04

Convert kPa to atm

To convert 225 kPa to atmospheres, the conversion factor 101.325 kPa = 1 atm is used. So, (225 kPa/101.325) gives the equivalent in atmospheres.

Calculate the height of a column of liquid glycerol \(\overline{\left(d=1.26 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right), \text { in meters, required to exert the }}\) same pressure as \(3.02 \mathrm{m}\) of \(\mathrm{CCl}_{4}(\mathrm{l})\left(d=1.59 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)\)

A 0.168 L sample of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g})\) is collected over water at \(26^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and a barometric pressure of \(737 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}\). In the gas that is collected, what is the percent water vapor (a) by volume; (b) by number of molecules; (c) by mass? (Vapor pressure of water at \(26^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=25.2 \mathrm{mmHg}\).)

A particular coal sample contains \(3.28 \%\) S by mass. When the coal is burned, the sulfur is converted to \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) .\) What volume of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}(\mathrm{g}),\) measured at \(23^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(738 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg},\) is produced by burning \(1.2 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{kg}\) of this coal?

A 34.0 L cylinder contains \(305 \mathrm{g} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g})\) at \(22^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) How many grams of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g})\) must be released to reduce the pressure in the cylinder to 1.15 atm if the temperature remains constant?

At times, a pressure is stated in units of mass per unit area rather than force per unit area. Express \(P=1 \mathrm{atm}\) in the unit \(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) [Hint: How is a mass in kilograms related to a force?]
