Calculate the average Relative Atomic Mass of this sample of krypton

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The average Relative Atomic Mass of krypton can be calculated using the ideal gas law and the mass increase observed in an evacuated glass bulb. When the bulb, with a capacity of 1.00 dm3, was filled with krypton at a pressure of 1.00 x 105 Pa and a temperature of 300K, the mass increased by 3.32 g. This mass increase directly corresponds to the mass of krypton, confirming that mass is conserved. The calculation of the number of moles (n) from this mass is essential for determining the relativistic atomic mass of krypton.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the ideal gas law (PV=nRT)
  • Basic knowledge of molar mass calculations
  • Familiarity with the concept of relative atomic mass
  • Experience with laboratory measurements and mass conservation principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate the number of moles of krypton using the formula n = mass/molar mass
  • Research the relativistic effects on atomic mass for noble gases
  • Explore chemical calculators specifically designed for gas law applications
  • Learn about the properties and applications of krypton in scientific research
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, laboratory technicians, educators in physical sciences, and anyone involved in gas law experiments or atomic mass calculations.

When an evacuated glass bulb of 1.00 dm3 capacity was filled with a sample of krypton at a pressure of 1.00 X 105 Pa and at a temperature of 300K, its mass increased by 3.32 g. Calculate the average Relative Atomic Mass of this sample of krypton.

It's the 'mass increased by 3.32g' part that confuses me. Can anyone tell me how to handle this?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
the glass's mass increased - since krypton was added

mass is conserved, so mass of krypton is 3.32 g.

You have P, you have V, you know R and T, what is n for 3.32 g of krypton?

What is relativistic atomic mass from that n?
 
Bulb was empty (or rather full of weightless vacuum :smile: ) and then was filled with krypton. Increase in mass is mass of krypton.

hehe...I thought the 'it' was in reference to the sample of krypton, but I understand now. Thanks a lot you guys.
