Question

1) A sample of Xe gas has a volume of 852 mL, has a pressure of 523 mm Hg, and is at a temperature of 17.1 °C. Calculate the amount (in moles) of Xe in the gas sample. = ? mol




2) A sample of CCl4 with a pressure of 1.81 atm and a volume of 206 mL is allowed to react with excess CH4 at 195 °C.



Calculate the pressure of the CH2Cl2 produced in the reaction if it is transferred to a 1.61-L flask and cooled to 38 °C.

Explanation / Answer


(1) Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT

Moles of Xe = n = PV/RT

= 523/760 x 825/1000/(0.08206 x (273.15 + 17.1))

= 0.0246 mol


(2) CH4 (g) + CCl4 (g) => 2 CH2Cl2 (g)

Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT

Moles of CCl4 = n = PV/RT

= 1.81 x 206/1000/(0.08206 x (273.15 + 195)) = 0.0097058 mol


Moles of CH2Cl2 = 2 x moles of CCl4

= 2 x 0.0097058 = 0.01941 mol


Pressure of CH2Cl2 = P = nRT/V

= 0.01941 x 0.08206 x (273.15 + 38)/1.61

= 0.308 atm
