You are given two closed 1.0 L flasks (A and B) connected by a stopcock, both at room temperature (25 °C). Flask A contains C3H8 (propane) gas at a pressure of 0.80 atm. Flask B contains Cl₂ gas at a pressure of 1.5 atm. The stopcock is opened, and the two gases mix freely. What is the final pressure inside the flasks? O 1.00 atm O 0.85 atm O 1.15 atm O 3.00 atm

If equal masses of O2 and N2 are placed in separate containers of equal volume at the same temperature, which of the following statements is true? If false, explain why it is false. (a) The pressure in the flask containing N2 is greater than that in the flask containing O2. (b) There are more molecules in the flask containing O2 than in the flask containing N2.
Xenon and fluorine will react to form binary compounds when a mixture of these two gases is heated to 400C in a nickel reaction vessel. A 100.0-mL nickel container is filled with xenon and fluorine, giving partial pressures of 1.24 atm and 10.10 atm, respectively, at a temperature of 25C. The reaction vessel is heated to 400C to cause a reaction to occur and then cooled to a temperature at which F2 is a gas and the xenon fluoride compound produced is a nonvolatile solid. The remaining F2 gas is transferred to another 100.0-mL nickel container, where the pressure of F2 at 25C is 7.62 atm. Assuming all of the xenon has reacted, what is the formula of the product?
5-111 Diving, particularly SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) diving, subjects the body to increased pressure. Each 10. m (approximately 33 ft) of water exerts an additional pressure of 1 atm on the body. (a) What is the pressure on the body at a depth of 100. ft? (b) The partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air at 1 atm is 593 mm Hg. Assuming a SCUBA diver breathes compressed air, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen entering the lungs from a breathing tank at a depth of 100. ft? (c) The partial pressure of oxygen gas in the air at 2 atm is 158 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the air in the lungs at a depth of 100. ft? (d) Why is it absolutely essential to exhale vigorously in a rapid ascent from a depth of 100. ft?
A collapsed balloon is filled with He to a volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 1.00 atm. Oxygen, O2, is then added so that the final volume of the balloon is 26 L with a total pressure of 1.00 atm. The temperature, which remains constant throughout, is 21.5 C. (a) What mass of He does the balloon contain? (b) What is the final partial pressure of He in the balloon? (c) What is the partial pressure of O2 in the balloon? (d) What is the mole fraction of each gas?
A typical barometric pressure in Redding. California, is about 750 mm Hg. Calculate this pressure in atm and kPa.
A study of climbers who reached the summit of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen showed that the partial pressures of O2 and CO2 in their lungs were 35 mm Mg and 7.5 mm Hg, respectively. The barometric pressure at the summit was 253 mm Hg. Assume the lung gases are saturated with moisture at a body temperature of 37 C [which means the partial pressure of water vapor in the lungs is P(H2O) = 47.1 mm Hg]. If you assume the lung gases consist of only O2, N2, CO2, and H2O, what is the partial pressure of N2?
You have a 550.-mL tank of gas with a pressure of 1.56 atm at 24 C. You thought the gas was pure carbon monoxide gas, CO, but you later found it was contaminated by small quantities of gaseous CO2 and O2. Analysis shows that the tank pressure is 1.34 atm (at 24 C) if the CO2 is removed. Another experiment shows that 0.0870 g of O2 can be removed chemically. What are the masses of CO and CO2 in the tank, and what is the partial pressure of each of the three gases at 25 C?
In the Mthode Champenoise, grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C6H12O6(aq)2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g) Fermentation of 750. mL grape juice (density = 1.0 g/cm3) is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 825 mL until 12% by volume is ethanol (C2H5OH). Assuming that the CO2 is insoluble in H2O (actually, a wrong assumption), what would be the pressure of CO2 inside the wine bottle at 25C? (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm3.)
