In summary, The pressure of 3.2gm of O2 gas in a container with a volume of 4000ml at 100oC, with a molecular mass of 16u, is calculated using the equation PV=nRT. The answer, in Pa, is 3.2x8.314x373x1000000 /(16x2x4000 ). For the second problem, at atmospheric pressure and 0oC, the volume of 1 kg mol of Nitrogen, with a molecular mass of 28u, is calculated using the equation PV=nRT. The answer, in m3, is 273x8.314 /28x1.013x105. However, there seems

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.
 

FAQ: What Is the Pressure of 3.2gm of O2 Gas in a 4000ml Container at 100°C?

What is pressure and why is it a problem?

Pressure is the force exerted by a substance on its surroundings. It can be a problem when it becomes too high or too low, as it can cause damage or disruption to systems or organisms.

How can pressure be measured?

Pressure can be measured using various instruments such as barometers, manometers, and pressure gauges. These devices typically measure pressure in units of pounds per square inch (psi) or pascals (Pa).

How can pressure problems be prevented or reduced?

Pressure problems can be prevented or reduced by using appropriate materials and design for containing or withstanding pressure, monitoring and controlling pressure levels, and following safety protocols.

What are some common causes of pressure problems?

Common causes of pressure problems include changes in temperature, improper installation or maintenance of pressure systems, and external forces such as impact or vibrations.

What are the potential consequences of not addressing a pressure problem?

The consequences of not addressing a pressure problem can range from minor inconveniences to serious accidents or failures. These may include leaks, ruptures, equipment damage, or even injury or loss of life.
