SUMMARY

The pressure of 3.2 grams of O2 gas in a 4000 ml container at 100°C can be calculated using the ideal gas law equation PV=nRT. The molecular mass of O2 is 32 g/mol (16 u per atom), leading to a calculated pressure of approximately 1.5 x 10^5 Pa. For the second problem regarding nitrogen, the volume for 1 kg-mol of nitrogen gas, with a molecular mass of 28 u, requires using 28 kg of gas instead of 1 kg, indicating a misunderstanding in the problem setup.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT)
  • Knowledge of molecular mass calculations
  • Familiarity with unit conversions (e.g., grams to moles, liters to cubic meters)
  • Basic thermodynamics concepts related to gas behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn about gas laws and their applications in real-world scenarios
  • Study unit conversions between different measurement systems (e.g., m3, L, kg)
  • Explore advanced topics in thermodynamics, such as enthalpy and entropy
  • Investigate the properties of different gases and their molecular weights
USEFUL FOR

Students studying chemistry or physics, educators teaching gas laws, and anyone needing to solve problems related to gas behavior and calculations.

i need help with this two problems

Homework Statement



calculate the pressure of 3.2gm of O2 gas in acontainer its volume 4000ml at 100oC knowing that the molucul mass for O2 = 16u


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



PV=nRT
P=3.2x8.314x373x1000000 /(16x2x4000 )


Homework Statement



At atmospheric pressure and at 0oC and the molecule mass for Nitrogen is 28 u so the volume for 1Kg mol equal


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



PV=nRT
V = 273x8.314 /28x1.o13x105

I just want to know if my answer in correct


for the first problem 'Pa' and the second 'm3/Kg mol'

The first one looks like it is set up OK for Pa.

Volume though is generally given as m3 or L.

I'm not sure what you mean by "m3/Kg mol"

so it is o.k if i just used m3 right ..??


thanks for your help

I'd say it is set up OK for finding the volume of 1 kg of N gas, if that is the question.

But I hesitate with your statement "the volume for 1Kg mol equal "

sorry I'm lost here ..
you mean if the question says the volume of 1 kg of N gas then m3 is correct, but what about is the question says the volume for 1Kg mol equal then is it o.k if i used m3/Kg mol or not ..

I was merely pointing out that the statement of the problem is suggesting something different.

1 kg mol of a substance is 1kg*Molecular mass.

So for your problem with Nitrogen at 28, this suggests that you would use 28 kg of gas, not 1 kg.

Your answer looks to me like it's off by a factor of 28.
