Suppose the volume of the syringe is 49 cc. You measure the

pressure as 2.05 atm, and the temperature as 23o

C.

Assume: the diameter of the plunger on the syringe is 2.33

cm.


a)Find

- n, the number of moles of gas in the syringe:

Submissions: in

moles

- N, the number of molecules of gas in the syringe:

Submissions: in

molecules

- Use the molear mass of air given to calculate the mass of air

in

the syringe:

Submissions: in

kg

b)Supose you push down the syringe so the volume is now 39.0

cc,

with the temperature remaining unchanged. Find:

- the new pressure inside the syringe.

Submissions: in

atm

- the force exerted by the gas on the plunger of the

syringe:

Submissions: in

N



Explanation / Answer

a.)PV=nRT

n=PV/RT=2.05*0.049/0.082*296=4.14 x 10^-3 moles

N=6.023x10^23*n=2.49 x 10^21

molar mass of air=28.9645 g/mol

So the mass of air=28.9645*n=0.12 grams

b.)P=nRT/V=4.14x10^-3*0.082*296/0.039=2.58 atm

the diameter of the plunger on the syringe is 2.33

So A=pi*d^2/4=4.26 x 10^-4 m^2

F=P*A=101325*2.58*4.26x10^-4=111.46 N
