Answer:

The mean free path of argon molecules becomes comparable to the diameter of this container at a pressure of 0.195 Pa

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Calculate the volume of a spherical container V

V = (4π*r³)/3

r = (3V/4π)^1/3

2r = d = 2*(3V/4π)^1/3

with r= radius

with d= diameter

The diameter is:

d= 2*(3V/4π)^1/3

d= 2*(3*100cm³/4π)^1/3

d= 5.76 cm

<u>Step2 </u>: Define the free path lambda  λ of argon

with  λ =k*T/ σp

with p = kT/σλ

with T= temperature = 20°C = 293.15 Kelvin

with k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.381 * 10^-23 J/K

with p = the atmospheric pressure

with σ = 0.36 nm²

p = kT/σλ

p = (1.38 * 10^-23 J*K^-1 * 1Pa *m³/1J)*(293,15K) /(0.36 nm²*(10^-9/ 1nm)² *(5.76cm* 10^-2m/1cm)

p = 0.195 Pa

The mean free path of argon molecules becomes comparable to the diameter of this container at a pressure of 0.195 Pa

If it requires 23.4 milliliters of 0.65 molar barium hydroxide to neutralize 42.5 milliliters of nitric acid, solve for the mola
rodikova [14]
Volume Ba(OH)2 = 23.4 mL in liters : 

23.4 / 1000 => 0.0234 L

Molarity  Ba(OH)2 = 0.65 M

Volume HNO3 = 42.5 mL in liters:

42.5 / 1000 => 0.0425 L

number of moles Ba(OH)2 :

n = M x V

n = 0.65 x 0.0234 

n = 0.01521 moles of Ba(OH)2

Mole ratio :

<span>Ba(OH)2 + 2 HNO3 = Ba(NO3)2 + 2 H2O
</span>
1 mole Ba(OH)2 ---------------- 2 moles HNO3
 0.01521 moles ----------------- moles HNO3

moles HNO3 = 0.01521 x 2 / 1

moles HNO3 = 0.03042 / 1

= 0.03042 moles HNO3

Therefore:

M ( HNO3 ) = n / volume ( HNO3 )

M ( HNO3 ) =  0.03042 / 0.0425

M ( HNO3 ) = 0.715 M

A sample of CH4 is confined in a water manometer. The temperature of the system is 30.0 °C and the atmospheric pressure is 98.70
kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

  P_{atm} = 98.70 kPa = 98700 Pa,  

      T = 30^{o}C = (30 + 273) K = 303 K

      height (h) = 30 mm = 0.03 m (as 1 m = 100 mm)

Density = 13.534 g/mL = 13.534 g/mL \times \frac{10^{6}cm^{3}}{1 m^{3}} \times \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}

                = 13534 kg/m^{3}

The relation between pressure and atmospheric pressure is as follows.

             P = P_{atm} + \rho gh

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            P = P_{atm} + \rho gh

               = 98700 Pa + 13534 \times 9.81 \times 0.03 m

               = 102683.05 Pa

               = 102.68 kPa

thus, we can conclude that the pressure of the given methane gas is 102.68 kPa.
