5. THE GASEOUS STATE

Solutions to Exercises Note on significant figures: If the final answer to a solution needs to be rounded off, it is given first with one nonsignificant figure, and the last significant figure is underlined. The final answer is then rounded to the correct number of significant figures. In multiple-step problems, intermediate answers are given with at least one nonsignificant figure; however, only the final answer has been rounded off.

Answers to Concept Checks

5.1 The general relationship between pressure (P) and the height (h) of a liquid column in a barometer is P = gdh, where g is the constant acceleration of gravity and d is the density. Examination of the relationship indicates that, for a given pressure, as the density of the liquid in the barometer decreases, the height of the liquid must increase. In order to make this relationship more apparent, you can rearrange the equation to:

gh = Pd

Keeping in mind that you are conducting the experiment at constant pressure and that

gravity is a constant, this mathematical relationship demonstrates that the height of the liquid in the barometer is inversely proportional to the density of the liquid in the barometer.

(h ∝ 1 ) d

This inverse relationship means that, as the height of the liquid decreases, the density

of the liquid must increase. Since the density of mercury is greater than the density of water, the barometer with the water will have the higher column.

5.2 a. In the first step, when the temperature decreases, the pressure will also decrease. This is because, according to the combined gas law, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature (P ∝ T). In the second step, when the volume increases, the pressure will decrease, since according to Boyles law, pressure and volume are inversely related (P ∝ 1/V). Both changes result in the pressure decreasing, so the final pressure will be less than the starting pressure.

b. In the first step, when the temperature increases, the pressure will also increase. This

is because, according to the combined gas law, pressure is directly proportional to the temperature (P ∝ T). In the second step, when the volume decreases, the pressure will increase, since according to the ideal gas law, pressure and volume are inversely related (P ∝ 1/V). Both changes result in the pressure increasing, so the final pressure will be greater than the starting pressure.

5.3 a. According to Avogadro’s law, equal volumes of any two (or more) gases at the same

temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules (or atoms in this case). Therefore, all three flasks contain the same number of atoms.

b. Since density is mass divided by volume, and all three flasks have the same volume

(3.0 L), the gas with the largest molar mass, xenon (Xe), will have the greatest density. c. According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, pressure is directly proportional to the

temperature. Since the helium flask is being heated, it will have the highest pressure. d. Since the three flasks started with the same number of atoms, and hence the same

number of moles, they would all still have the same number of moles no matter how the temperatures of the flasks were changed.

5.4 a. In a mixture of gases, each gas exerts the pressure it would exert if it were the only

gas in the flask. The pressure of H2 is the same whether it is in the flask by itself or with the Ar. Therefore, the pressure of H2 does not change.

b. According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, pressure (P) is directly proportional to the

number of moles (n). Since the number of moles of H2 and the number of moles of Ar are equal, their pressures are also equal.

c. The total pressure is equal to the sum of the pressures of the H2 gas and the Ar gas in

the container. The total pressure will also be equal to twice the pressure of the H2 gas when it was in the flask by itself. It is also equal to twice the pressure that the Ar gas would exert if it were in the flask by itself.

5.5 a. The rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular weight

of the gas at constant temperature and pressure. Thus, He (molecular weight 4.00 amu) will diffuse faster than Ar (molecular weight 39.95 amu) and reach the end of the tube first.

b. The speed of an atom is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. If you raise the temperature of the Ar, you can make it reach the end of the tube at the same time as the He.

5.6 a. If the real gas molecules occupy a relatively small volume, then the volume of the gas

is essentially equal to the volume of the container, the same as for an ideal gas. However, if there were large intermolecular attractions, the pressure would be less than for an ideal gas. Therefore, the pressure would be greater for the ideal gas.

b. If the real gas molecules occupy a relatively large volume, then the volume available

for the gas is less than for an ideal gas, and the pressure would be greater. If there are negligible intermolecular attractions, then the pressure is essentially the same as for an ideal gas. Overall, the pressure would be less for the ideal gas.

c. Since the effect of molecular volume and intermolecular attractions on the pressure of

a real gas are opposite, you cannot determine how the pressure of the two gases compare.

Answers to Review Questions

5.1 Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of surface. Force is further defined as mass multiplied by acceleration. The SI unit of mass is kg, of acceleration is m/s2, and of area is m2. Therefore, the SI unit of pressure (Pascal) is given by

5.2 A manometer is a device that measures the pressure of a gas in a vessel. The gas

pressure in the flask is proportional to the difference in heights between the liquid levels in the manometer (Figure 5.4).

5.3 The general relationship between the pressure (P) and the height (h) of the liquid in a

manometer is P = dgh. Therefore, the variables that determine the height of the liquid in a manometer are the density (d) of the liquid and the pressure of the gas being measured. The acceleration of gravity (g) is a constant, 9.81 m/s2.

5.5 A linear relationship between variables such as x and y is given by the mathematical

relation y = a + bx The variable y is directly proportional to x only if a = 0. 5.6 First, find the equivalent of absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale. Converting

-273.15°C to degrees Fahrenheit, you obtain -459.67°F. Since the volume of a gas varies linearly with the temperature, you get the following linear relationship.

V = a + btF

where tF is the temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. Since the volume of a gas is zero

at absolute zero, you get 0 = a + b(-459.67), or a = 459.67b The equation can now be rewritten as V = 459.67b + bt = b(459.67 + tF) = bTF where TF is the temperature in the new absolute scale based on the Fahrenheit scale.

The relationship is TF = tF + 459.67 5.7 From Charles's law, V = constant x T. Because this is true for conditions Ti and Vi as

well as conditions Tf and Vf, we can write

5.8 Avogadro's law states that equal volumes of any two gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. The law of combining volumes states that the volumes of reactant gases at a given pressure and temperature are in ratios of small whole numbers. The combining-volume law may be explained from Avogadro's law using the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3 as follows: In Avogadro's terms, this equation says that Avogadro's number of N2 molecules reacts with three times Avogadro's number of H2 molecules to form two times Avogadro's number of NH3 molecules. From Avogadro's law, it follows that one volume of N2 reacts with three volumes of H2 to form two volumes of NH3. This result is true for all gas reactions.

5.9 The standard conditions are 0°C and one atm pressure (STP). 5.10 The molar gas volume, Vm, is the volume of one mole of gas at any given temperature

and pressure. At standard conditions (STP), the molar gas volume equals 22.4 L. 5.11 Boyle's law (V ∝1/P) and Charles's law (V ∝ T)can be combined and expressed in a

single statement: The volume occupied by a given amount of gas is proportional to the absolute temperature divided by the pressure. In equation form, this is

V = constant x PT

The constant is independent of temperature and pressure, but does depend on the

amount of gas. For one mole, the constant will have a specific value, denoted as R. The molar volume, Vm, is

Vm = R x PT

Because Vm has the same value for all gases, we can write this equation for n moles of

gas if we multiply both sides by n. This yields the equation

nVm = P

nRT

Because Vm is the volume per mole, nVm is the total volume V. Substituting gives

V = P

nRT or PV = nRT

5.12 The variables in the ideal gas law are P, V, n, and T. The SI units of these variables

are pascals (P), cubic meters (V), moles (n), and kelvins (T).

5.14 Six empirical gas laws can be obtained. They can be stated as follows: P x V = constant (T and n constant)

TP = constant (V and n constant)

nP = constant (T and V constant)

TV = constant (P and n constant)

nV = constant (P and T constant)

n x T = constant (P and V constant) 5.15 The postulates and supporting evidence are the following:

(1) Gases are composed of molecules whose sizes are negligible compared with the distance between them.

(2) Molecules move randomly in straight lines in all directions and at various speeds.

(3) The forces of attraction or repulsion between two molecules (intermolecular forces) in a gas are very weak or negligible, except when they collide.

(4) When molecules collide with one another, the collisions are elastic.

(5) The average kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to the absolute temperature.

One example of evidence that supports the kinetic theory of gases is Boyle’s law.

Constant temperature means the average molecular force from collision remains constant. If you increase the volume, you decrease the number of collisions per unit wall area, thus lowering the pressure in accordance with Boyle’s law. Another example is Charles’s law. If you raise the temperature, you increase the average molecular force from a collision with the wall, thus increasing the pressure. For the pressure to remain constant, it is necessary for the volume to increase so the frequency of collisions with the wall decreases. Thus, when you raise the temperature of a gas while keeping the pressure constant, the volume increases in accordance with Charles’s law.

THE GASEOUS STATE 175

5.16 Boyle's law requires the temperature be constant. Postulate 5 of the kinetic theory holds that the average kinetic energy of a molecule is constant at constant temperature. Therefore, the average molecular force from collisions is constant. If we increase the volume of a gas, this decreases the number of molecules per unit volume and so decreases the frequency of collisions per unit wall area, causing the pressure to decrease in accordance with Boyle’s law.

5.17 According to kinetic theory, the pressure of a gas results from the bombardment of

container walls by molecules. 5.18 The rms speed of a molecule equals (3RT/Mm)1/2, where Mm is the molar mass of the

gas. The rms speed does not depend on the molar volume. 5.19 A gas appears to diffuse more slowly because it never travels very far in one direction

before it collides with another molecule and moves in another direction. Thus, it must travel a very long, crooked path as the result of collisions.

5.20 Effusion is the process in which a gas flows through a small hole in a container. It

results from the gas molecules encountering the hole by chance, rather than by colliding with the walls of the container. The faster the molecules move, the more likely they are to encounter the hole. Thus, the rate of effusion depends on the average molecular speed, which depends inversely on molecular mass.

5.21 The behavior of a gas begins to deviate significantly from that predicted by the ideal

gas law at high pressures and relatively low temperatures. 5.22 The constant “a” is the proportionality constant in the van der Waals equation related

to intermolecular forces The term “nb” represents the volume occupied by n moles of molecules.

Answers to Conceptual Problems

5.23 a. The volume of the tire and the amount of air in the tire remain constant. From the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, under these conditions the pressure will vary directly with the temperature (P ∝ T). Thus, on a cold day, you would expect the pressure in the tires to decrease, and they would appear flatter.

b. Aerosol cans are filled with a fixed amount of gas in a constant volume. From the ideal

gas law, under these conditions the pressure will vary directly with the temperature (P ∝ T). If you put an aerosol can in a fire, you will increase the temperature, and thus the pressure. If the pressure gets high enough, the can will explode.

c. As the water bottle sits in the sun, the liquid water warms up. As the temperature of the

water increases, so does its vapor pressure (Table 5.6). If the pressure gets high enough, it will pop the lid off the bottle.

176 CHAPTER 5

d. The amount of air in the balloon and the temperature remain constant. From the ideal gas law under these conditions, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume (P ∝ 1/V). Thus, as you squeeze the balloon, you decrease the volume, resulting in an increase in pressure. If you squeeze hard enough and make the volume small enough, the balloon will pop.

5.24 Since each of the flasks is identical and each contains an equal amount of gas, the

initial pressures in the N2 flask, the O2 flask, and the He flask will be the same. After the changes, the pressure in the He flask would be highest, with a pressure equal to three times the original. Next would be the O2 flask, with a pressure equal to two times the original. Last would be the N2 flask, with a pressure equal to one-half the original.

5.25 a. The pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional; therefore, an increase by

a factor of two in pressure would decrease the volume by ½ (C to D). b. The pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional; therefore, a decrease by

a factor of two in pressure would double the volume (C to A). c. The volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional; therefore an increase

in kelvin temperature by a factor of 1.5 would result in an increase in volume by a factor of 1.5 (C to B).

d. Since the piston can move, the pressure would not change (it would be equal to the

starting pressure). The volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles; therefore an increase in the number of moles by a factor of two would cause the volume increase by two (C to A).

5.26 a. Since 1.0 out of the 3.0 moles of gas in the container is N2, the fraction of the pressure

due to N2 is 1/3. b. Mole fractions are not a function of temperature, so nothing would happen. c. You would expect the pressure to be higher for two reasons. First, the water would

occupy some volume, reducing the volume available for the gas to occupy. Thus, according to Boyle’s law, as volume decreases, pressure increases. Second, after a time, the water would evaporate, and the vapor pressure due to the water would contribute to the total pressure, thereby increasing it.

d. Yes, there is enough information in the problem to calculate the pressure in the flask,

but you would also need to know the vapor pressure of water at 22.0°C (Table 5.6). 5.27 a. The container with the O2 has the greater density, since the molar mass of O2

(32.00 g/mol) is greater than that of H2 (2.016 g/mol).

b. Since the H2 molecules are lighter, they will be moving faster. c. Both containers have the same number of molecules (Avogadro’s law).

THE GASEOUS STATE 177

d. The pressure in each of the containers will not change when the valve is opened. Each container starts with the same pressure. Since the total volume remains constant, the pressure will not change.

e. The fraction of the total pressure due to the H2 would now be 1/4. 5.28 a. Pressure decreases as you increase in altitude. Thus, the pressure at 6000 m is less

than the pressure at 3000 m. For two identical balloons, the balloon at 6000 m will have the greater volume (Boyle’s law).

b. In order to calculate the volume of each balloon, you would need the temperature and

pressure on the ground and the temperature and pressure at their respective heights. 5.29 In order to double the volume you could reduce the pressure by 1/2. You could also

increase the temperature, but you cannot determine the final temperature without knowing the initial temperature.

5.30 a. If you assume that the flasks are at ordinary room temperature, say 25°C, then there

would be approximately one mole of He (at 1.0 atm) and 1.5 mol of Xe (at 1.5 atm). Thus, the F2 flask (with 2.0 mol) would contain the greatest number of moles of gas.

b. You could either decrease the volume, increase the temperature, or both.

Maxwell distributions can be written, but it can be simplified by canceling the 3 x 8.31 terms and rearranging the denominators. To simplify the definition of the rates, we assume the time is one second, and define the rate(Ar) as 9.23 mL/1 s and the rate(gas) as 4.83 mL/1 s. Then we write a ratio of two Maxwell distributions:

gas m

u M (Ar) 4.83 mL / 1 s 39.95 = = = u 9.23 mL / 1 s M (gas) M (gas)

Squaring both sides gives

39.95 = 145.8 g/mol; molecular weight = 146 amu

5.94 As in the previous problem, the temperatures are the same and a ratio of two Maxwell

distributions can be written and simplified. In contrast, here we assume the volume is one mL, and we define the rate(N2) as 1 mL/68.3 s and the rate(gas) as 1 mL/85.6 s.

5.123 Use CO + 1/2O2 → CO2, instead of 2CO. First, find the moles of CO and O2 by using the ideal gas law.

RT =

(1.00 atm) (1.00 L)(0.08206 L atm/K mol) (300 K)• •

= 0.04062 mol

There are equal amounts of CO and O2, but (from the equation) only half as many moles of O2 as CO are required for the reaction. Therefore, when 0.04062 moles of CO have been consumed, only 0.04062/2 moles of O2 will have been used up. Then 0.04062/2 mol O2 will remain, and 0.04062 mol CO2 will have been produced. At the end,

nCO = 0 mol; = 0.0202 mol; and n = 0.04062 mol

However, the total volume with the valve open is 3.00 L, so the partial pressures of O2 and CO2 must be calculated from the ideal gas law for each:

When all the H2 has been consumed, half of the O2 will remain. At the end, there will be 0.04062 mol of H2O formed. However, the final volume is 3.00 L, so the partial pressures of H2O and O2 must each be calculated from the ideal gas law:
