Dry ice (solid CO2) has occasionally been used as an "explosive" in mining. A hole is drilled, dry ice and a small amount of gun

powder are placed in the hole, a fuse is added, and the hole is plugged. When lit, the exploding gunpowder rapidly vaporizes the dry ice, building up an immense pressure. Assume that 391 g of dry ice is placed in a cavity with a volume of 0.770 L and the ignited gunpowder heats the CO2 to 695 ∘C. What is the final pressure inside the hole?

Answer:

Final pressure = 0.77atm

Explanation:

The concept used to approach this question is the Ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

where P = pressure

V = Volume

n = number of mole or amount of substance

R = ideal gas constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

  • from the parameters given ; mass = 391g
  • volume = 0.770 L
  • Temperature = 695 ∘C = 695 + 273 = 968K
  • R = 0.0821
  • number of moles = mass/molar mass
  • molar mass of CO2 = 12 + 2x16 = 44g/mol
  • number of moles = 391g/44g/mol = 8.886mol

plugging into the equation to get the final pressure,

  • from PV = nRT
  • P = nRT/V = 8.886 x 0.0821 x 968 / 0.770
  • Final pressure = 0.77atm

Which scenario describes an interaction between two of Earth's spheres?
quester [9]

The correct answer is D. Bears dig big holes in the ground to protect their young

Explanation:

The Earth spheres include the biosphere (life in the Earth), the hydrosphere (water bodies), the geosphere (rocks and other elements that compose land and soil), and the atmosphere (gases that compose the air). In this context, there is an interaction between two spheres: the biosphere and the geosphere, when a bear digs holes in the ground because a living organism that is part of the biosphere is modifying the structure and shape of superficial soil, which is part of the geosphere.

Calculate the density of air at 100 Deg C and 1 bar abs. Use the Ideal Gas Law for your calculation and give answer in kg/m3. Us
madam [21]

Answer:

d=0.92\frac{kg}{m^{3}}

Explanation:

Using the Ideal Gas Law we have PV=nRT and the number of moles n could be expressed as n=\frac{m}{M}, where m is the mass and M is the molar mass.

Now, replacing the number of moles in the equation for the ideal gass law:

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT

If we pass the V to divide:

P=\frac{m}{V}\frac{RT}{M}

As the density is expressed as d=\frac{m}{V}, we have:

P=d\frac{RT}{M}

Solving for the density:

d=\frac{PM}{RT}

Then we need to convert the units to the S.I.:

T=100^{o}C+273.15

T=373.15K

P=1bar*\frac{0.98atm}{1bar}

P=0.98atm

M=28.9\frac{kg}{kmol}*\frac{1kmol}{1000mol}

M=0.0289\frac{kg}{mol}

Finally we replace the values:

d=\frac{(0.98atm)(0.0289\frac{kg}{mol})}{(0.082\frac{atm.L}{mol.K})(373.15K)}

d=9.2*10^{-4}\frac{kg}{L}

d=9.2*10^{-4}\frac{kg}{L}*\frac{1L}{0.001m^{3}}

d=0.92\frac{kg}{m^{3}}
