SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving ideal gas law problems using the equation PV=nRT. Participants seek clarification on specific questions related to the volume of CO2 at STP, the mass of hydrogen gas in a container, the required gauge pressure for a desired density, and the number of gas molecules in a given volume. The correct answers are derived using the ideal gas law principles, emphasizing the importance of understanding pressure, volume, and temperature relationships in gas behavior.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT)
  • Knowledge of standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions
  • Familiarity with gas density calculations
  • Basic skills in unit conversions and pressure measurements
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Ideal Gas Law applications in real-world scenarios
  • Learn about the significance of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in gas calculations
  • Explore advanced gas law concepts, such as Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
  • Practice solving problems involving gas density and pressure variations
USEFUL FOR

Students in chemistry or physics, educators teaching gas laws, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the behavior of gases under varying conditions.

Dx
1) A sample of Co2 contains 3.01x10^23 molecules at STP. what volume does this sample occupy?
I have the multiple choice answers but need help explaining why you chose that answer.

11.2L
44.8L
32.7L


2) a 25L container hold H gas at gauge pressure 1.25atm and temo 0 degrees celsius. what's mass of H in this container

2.8g
4.2g
5.6g

3) An ideal gas has density of 1.75kg/m^3 at gauge pressure 160kPa. what must be the gauge pressure isf density of 1 kg/m^3 is desired at the same temp?

356kPA
280kPA
48KPa

4) an ideal gas in container of volume 100cm^3 at 20 degrees C has pressure of 100N/m^2. determine the number of gas molecules in the container

6x10^23
2.5x10^18
5.2x10^18

I am not going to put my work here since I've already missed them. I can't go on not understanding why or what these answers were. I have gone back to re-read the chapter on this and still unclear with the ideal gas law, i know its said to be simple but its not clicking here. I don't need a long explanation just the answer you got and briefly how you derived it. If you feel you don't have to answer this cause it vilates so rules its like i said "Its not homework but missed test questions that for my own personnel conquest I must try to solve but need your help, please" Please understand I hold each of you in the highest respect and thank you for all youve done. Its really been a great help for me to better understand this subject.
I applaude you all!
Dx :wink:

You use the same equation for all of these: PV=nRT

P=absolute pressure
V=volume
n=# of moles
R=ideal gas constant
T=temp (in oK)
