2. On a summer day, you take a road trip through Moses Lake, WA, in a sports car. You start out at a temperature of 21°C in the

morning, but the temperature in Moses Lake will reach a peak of 55°C. Each tire on your car holds 15.2 L of nitrogen gas at a starting pressure of 247 kPa. The tires will burst if the internal pressure exceeds 270 kPa. Answer the following questions and show your work. (no work = no credit) R = 8.31 o How many moles of nitrogen gas are in each tire? o What would the maximum tire pressure be at 50 degrees C? o Will the tires burst in Moses Lake? Explain. o If you must let nitrogen gas out of the tire before you go, to what pressure must you reduce the tires before you start your trip? (Assume no significant change in tire volume.)

Answer:

1- 1.54 mol.

2- 271.9 kPa.

3- Yes, the tires will burst.

4- 235.67 kPa.

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em><u>Q1- How many moles of nitrogen gas are in each tire?  </u></em>

  • To calculate the no. of moles of nitrogen gas in each tire, we can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the nitrogen gas (P = 247.0 kPa/101.325 = 2.44 atm),

V is the volume of the nitrogen gas (V = 15.2 L),

n is the no. of moles of the nitrogen gas (n = ??? mole),

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the nitrogen gas (T = 21 °C + 273 = 294 K).

∴ n = PV/RT = (2.44 atm)(15.2 L)/(0.082 L/atm/mol.K)(294.0 K) = 1.54 mol.

<u><em>Q2: What would the maximum tire pressure be at 50 degrees C?  </em></u>

  • Now, the temperature is raised to be 50°C (T = 50°C + 273 = 323 K).
  • The pressure can be calculated using the general gas law:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

∴ P = nRT/V = (1.54 atm)(0.082 L/atm/mol.K)(323.0 K)/(15.2 L) = 2.68 atm = 271.9 kPa.

<u><em>Q3: Will the tires burst in Moses Lake? Explain.</em></u>

  • <em>Yes, the tires will burst because the internal pressure be 271.9 kPa that exceeds 270 kPa, the pressure above which the tires will burst.</em>

<u><em>Q4: If you must let nitrogen gas out of the tire before you go, to what pressure must you reduce the tires before you start your trip? (Assume no significant change in tire volume.)  </em></u>

  • To get the pressure that we must begin with:
  • Firstly, we should calculate the no. of moles at:

T = 55°C + 273 = 328 K,

<em>Pressure = 270 kPa (the pressure above which the tires will burst). (P =270 kPa/101.325 = 2.66 atm).</em>

  • V = 15.2 L, as there is no significant change in tire volume.

∴ n = PV/RT = (2.66 atm)(15.2 L)/(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(328 K) = 1.5 mol.

  • 1.5562 moles of N₂ in the tires will give a pressure of 270 kPa at 55°C, <em>so this is the minimum moles of N₂ that will make the tires burst.</em>
  • Now, we can enter this number of moles into the original starting conditions to tell us what pressure the tires will be at if we start with this number of moles of N₂.

<em>P = ???  </em>

V = 15.6 L.

n = 1.5 mol

T = 21°C + 273 = 294.0 K  

R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K.

∴ P = nRT/V = (1.5 mol x 0.082 x 294.0 K) / (15.6 L) = 2.2325 atm = 235.67 kPa.

  • <em>So, the starting pressure needs to be 235.67 kPa or just under in order for the tires not to burst.</em>

27) Partial pressure of oxygen: 57.8 kPa

29) Final volume: 80 mL

30) Final volume: 8987 L

31) Due to property of water of being polar, ice floats on water

Explanation:

27)

In a mixture of gases, the total pressure of the mixture is the sum of the partial pressures:

p_T = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_N

In this problem, the mixture contains 3 gases (helium, carbon dioxide and oxygen). We know that the total pressure is

p_T=201.4 kPa

We also know the partial pressures of helium and carbon dioxide:

P_{He}=125.4 kPa\\P_{CO_2}=18.2 kPa

The total pressure can be written as

p_T=p_{He}+p_{CO_2}+p_{O_2}

where p_{O_2} is the partial pressure of oxygen. Therefore, we find

p_{O_2}=p_T-p_{He}-p_{CO_2}=201.4-125.4-18.2=57.8 kPa

29)

Assuming that the pressure of the gas is constant, we can apply Charle's law, which states that:

"For an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically,

\frac{V}{T}=const.

where

V is the volume of the gas

T is the Kelvin temperature

We can re-write it as

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

Here we have:

V_1 = 42 mL (initial volume)

T_1=-89^{\circ}C+273=184 K is the initial temperature

T_2=77^{\circ}C+273=350 K is the final temperature

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

V_2=\frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(42)(350)}{184}=80 mL

30)

For this problem, we can use the equation of state for ideal gases, which can be written as

\frac{p_1 V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}

where in this problem:

p_1 = 102.3 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1=1975 L is the initial volume

T_1=25^{\circ}C+273=298 K is the initial temperature

p_2=21.5 kPa is the final pressure

T_2=12^{\circ}C+273=285 K is the final temperature

And solving for V2, we find the final volume of the balloon:

V_2=\frac{p_1 V_1 T_2}{p_2 T_1}=\frac{(102.3)(1975)(285)}{(21.5)(298)}=8987 L

31)

A molecule of water consists of two atoms hydrogen bond with an atom of oxygen (H_2 O) in a covalent bond.

While the molecul of water is overall neutral, due to the higher electronegativity of the oxygen atom, electrons are slightly shifted towards the oxygen atom; as a result, there is a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen side, and a slightly negative charge on the oxygen side (so, the molecules is said to be polar).

As a consequence, molecules of water attract each other, forming the so-called "hydrogen bonds".

One direct consequence of the polarity of water is that ice floats on liquid water.

Normally, for every substance on Earth, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state. However, this is not true for water, because ice is less dense than liquid water.

This is due to the polarity of water. In fact, when the temperature of water is decreased to freezing point and water becomes ice, the hydrogen bondings "force" the molecules to arrange in a lattice structure, so that the molecules become more spaced when they turn into solid state. As a result, ice occupies more volume than water, and therefore it is less dense, being able to float on water.

Which statement describes how a basic coffee cup calorimeter works? A) It measures the mass of a substance given the specific he
fomenos
A calorimeter experiment is a set-up that provides insulation so that no heat escapes to the surroundings and all energy can be accounted for. It can be done at either constant volume or constant pressure. So, the answer to this is knowing the mass of water, the specific heat which is an empirical data, and the change in temperature which can be measured using a thermometer. This experiment could measure the mass of an unknown substance added or the specific heat of the substance or the calorimeter. <em>The answer is D.</em>
