Chemistry on pV=nRT
« on: October 09, 2005, 01:30:51 PM »
i dont suck or anything... im just stuck on those and i really cant figure em

6- a pressure of about 1,0 x 10^-13 Pa is near emptiness. What would be the number of molecules that 1L of gas would contain at that pressure and at 0 degrees celcius (273 kelvins)?

9- At what temperature (in degrees celcius) must we bring a gas that is initially at -50 degrees celsius (223 Kelvins), if we want to pinput it in a container thats 3 times bigger and that its pressure is 5 times lower?

10- The pressure created by the air in a tire is of 175 kPa for a day with a -5 degress celcius temperature. The manufacturer recomends a maximal pressure of 250 kPa. would the recomandation be respected if, on a summer day, the temperature would be of 40 degrees celcius (313 Kelvins)? Why? (we suppose that the volume does not change.)

Have you attempted any of these problems? I'll give you a few hints:

6- All you have to do is plug the numbers into the Ideal gas equation (rearranged to solve for n, since n= the number of moles of the gas) n= PV/RT

9- The combined gas law(I think thats what its called): P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 sould help

isnt the correct law  p1V1/n1T1 = p2V2/n2T2; also the number of moles is not mentionned, so it wouldnt work...

Im quite sure the equation I supplied is correct.

recheck it because it doesnt make sense:

pV=nRT
pV/t=nR and not pV/T=R
your missing the n...

The ideal gas equation is used to solve for a variable at the moment of recording. The combined gas law is used to solve foor a variable after another variable has been changed.

PV = nRT                : no change
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2  : change

these two are not related in the sense that you are proposing.  ;)

You aren't correct, because if we're talking about the same gas, then the number of moles is a constant number

6- a pressure of about 1,0 x 10^-13 Pa is near emptiness. What would be the number of molecules that 1L of gas would contain at that pressure and at 0 degrees celcius (273 kelvins)?
PV = nRT => n [moles] = PV/RT where P = 1.0 x 10-13 Pa, V = 1L = 0.001m3, R = 8.314

9- At what temperature (in degrees celcius) must we bring a gas that is initially at -50 degrees celsius (223 Kelvins), if we want to pinput it in a container thats 3 times bigger and that its pressure is 5 times lower?
in both conditions, the number of moles of gas is the same. PV = nRT would therefore suggest PV/T = nR = constant for both conditions. So you can find T using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. You are given T1 and P1 = 5P2, V2 = 3V1, you can cancel out the common terms on both sides of the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

10- The pressure created by the air in a tire is of 175 kPa for a day with a -5 degress celcius temperature. The manufacturer recomends a maximal pressure of 250 kPa. would the recomandation be respected if, on a summer day, the temperature would be of 40 degrees celcius (313 Kelvins)? Why? (we suppose that the volume does not change.)
PV = nRT => P = nRT/V
given volume is fixed, pressure of the tyre is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the tyre.
