Ether
methoxypropane (methyl propyl ether)
Explanation:
Let us assume that the given data is as follows.
V = 3.10 L, T = 
= (19 + 273)K = 292 K
P = 40 torr (1 atm = 760 torr)
So, P = 
= 0.053 atm
n = ?
According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.
Putting the given values into the above equation to calculate the value of n as follows.
PV = nRT
0.1643 = 
n = 
It is known that molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol. Hence, calculate its mass as follows.
No. of moles = 
mass = 
g
= 0.315 g
Thus, we can conclude that the mass of liquid ethanol is 0.315 g.
Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16
Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.
If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8
The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.
Answer: 4.41 atm
Explanation:
Given that,
Original pressure of oxygen gas (P1) = 5.00 atm
Original temperature of oxygen gas (T1) = 25°C
[Convert 25°C to Kelvin by adding 273
25°C + 273 = 298K
New pressure of oxygen gas (P2) = ?
New temperature of oxygen gas (T2) = -10°C
[Convert -10°C to Kelvin by adding 273
-10°C + 273 = 263K
Since pressure and temperature are given while volume is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law
P1/T1 = P2/T2
5.00 atm /298K = P2/263K
To get the value of P2, cross multiply
5.00 atm x 263K = 298K x V2
1315 atm•K = 298K•V2
V2 = 1315 atm•K / 298K
V2 = 4.41 atm
Thus, the new pressure inside the canister is 4.41 atmosphere
