Answer:

a)  the mass of air = 8.24 grams

b) the mass of helium = 1.14 grams

c) the mass difference = 7.10 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the tire = 860 mL

Total pressure = 120 psi

Temperature = 26°C

molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol

Step 2:  Convert psi to atm

(

120 psi) (1 atm / 14.7 psi) = 8.163

Step 4: Calculate moles

PV = nRT

 ⇒ with P = the pressure = 8.163 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = 860 mL = 0.860 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the universal gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 26 °C = 299 Kelvin

n = (8163*0.860)/(0.08206*299)

n = 0.2861 moles of gas

Step 5: Calculate the mass of air in an air-filled tire.

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = (0.2861 moles of gas) (28.8 g/mol)  

Mass = 8.24 grams

Step 6: Calculate the mass of helium in a helium- filled tire.

mass of helium = 0.2861 moles of gas * 4 g/mol)  

mass of helium  = 1.14 grams

Step 7: What is the mass difference between the two?

Δmass=  8.24 grams -  1.14 grams

Δmass= 7.10 grams

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

5.00 g Ca

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                               \displaystyle 5.00 \ g \ Ca(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ca}{40.08 \ g \ Ca})
  2. Multiply:                             \displaystyle 0.12475 \ mol \ Ca

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

0.12475 mol Ca ≈ 0.125 mol Ca

Which of these changes will increase the vapor pressure of water in a sealed container?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Salt is a non-volatile solute and hence adding salt will increase the boiling point of water and hence reduce the vapor pressure. While on the other hand, adding more water will require more time to boil and hence produce vapor and thus the vapor pressure. Shaking will also not help in increasing the vapor pressure. Thus, only increasing the temperature of the water will create more vapors at a faster rate and hence increase the vapor pressure.

Thus, option B is the correct answer
