Why using a temperature probe is preferable to using a conventional mercury thermometers

Chemistry
1 answer:
Crank3 years ago
3 0
This for health and hazard purposes. The conventional thermometers contain mercury which is very dangerous to health. It is toxic which could cause poisoning, respiratory damage and kidney problems. Because of this, it is already illegal to use them for safety purposes. Temperature probes are much safer because they only use thermocouples.

Answer:

1) 1.52 atm.

2) 647.85 K.

3) 20.56 L.

4) 1.513 mole.

5) 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

Explanation:

  • In all this points, we should use the law of ideal gas to solve this problem: PV = nRT.
  • Where, P is the pressure (atm), V is the volume (L), n is the number of moles, R is the general gas constant (0.082 L.atm/mol.K), and T is the temperature (K).

1) In this point; n, R, and T are constants and the variables are P and V.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1V1 = P2V2.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>and V1 = 45.0 L.

P2 = 5.7 atm and V2 = 12.0 L.

Then, the original pressure (P1) = P2V2 / V1 = (5.7 atm x 12.0 L) / (45.0 L) = 1.52 atm.


2) In this case, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, V, and T.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other and both of them are directly proportional to the temperature of the gas that if we have two cases we get: P1V1T2 = P2V2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = 212.0 kPa, V1 = 32.0 L, and T1 = 20.0 °C = (20 °C + 273) = 293 K.

P2 = 300.0 kPa, V2= 50.0 L, and T2 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>

Then, the temperature in the second case (T2) = P2V2T1 / P1V1 = (300.0 kPa x 50.0 L x 293 K) / (212.0 kPa x 32.0 L) = 647.85 K.


3) In this case, P, n and R are the constants and the variables are V, and T.

V and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: V1T2 = V2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

V1 = 25.0 L and T1 = 65.0 °C + 273 = 338 K.

V2 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em> and T2 = 5.0 °C + 273 = 278 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert T into K.

Then, the volume in the second case (V2) = V1T2 / T1 = (25.0 L x 278 °C) / (338 °C) = 20.56 L.


4) We can get the number of moles that will fill the container from: n = PV/RT.

P = 250.0 kPa, we must convert the unit from kPa to atm; <em><u>101.325 kPa = 1.0 atm</u></em>, then P = (1.0 atm x 250.0 kPa) / (101.325 kPa) = 2.467 atm.

V = 16.0 L.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 45 °C + 273 = 318 K.

Now, n = PV/RT = (2.467 atm x 16.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K x 318 K) = 1.513 mole.


5) In this case, V, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, and T.

P and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1T2 = P2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = 2200.0 mmHg and T1 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>.

P2 = 2700.0 mmHg and T2 = 39.0 °C + 273 = 312.0 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert P into atm.

Then, the temperature in the morning (T1) = P1T2 / P2 = (2200.0 mmHg x 312.0 K) / (2700.0 mmHg) = 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

Use the formula: PV=nRT<br><br> If P=12, V=22.4, R=.0821 and T=100, then what would n=?
Lina20 [59]
PV=nRT \\ (12)(22.4)=n(.0821)(100) \\ 268.8=8.21n \\ 268.8/8.21=8.21n/8.21 \\ n=32.74
n ≈ 32.74
