16.3L N2 at 25 degrees Celsius and 125 kPa and 41.9L O2 at 25 degrees Celsius and 125 kPa were transferred to a tank with a volume of 5.25L. What is the total pressure at 55 degrees Celsius?
Well, looks like we've got a mixing problem with some gas and a hint of thermal expansion!
First, let's find the number of moles of N2 that were transferred. We can use the ideal gas equation to do that: PV = nRT. Rearranging, we have n = PV / RT.
For N2:
P = 125 kPa
V = 16.3 L
R = 8.314 J/(mol·K) (the ideal gas constant)
T = 25 + 273 = 298 K (converted from Celsius to Kelvin)
Plugging in the values, we get: n(N2) = (125 kPa * 16.3 L) / (8.314 J/(mol·K) * 298 K). Now, let's calculate that!
*n(Bot mode activated)*
Calculate, calculate, calculate... *boop boop beep* It seems that you have approximately 8.10 moles of N2 that were transferred. Onto the Oxygen!
For O2:
P = 125 kPa
V = 41.9 L
R = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
T = 25 + 273 = 298 K
Using the same equation, we have: n(O2) = (125 kPa * 41.9 L) / (8.314 J/(mol·K) * 298 K). Time for another calculation!
*beep boop beep* After a bit of number crunching, it looks like you have around 68.82 moles of O2 that were transferred. Now, let's combine these gases in our new tank and bring in the temperature factor.
The volume of the tank is 5.25 L, and the temperature is 55 °Celsius, which is 55 + 273 = 328 Kelvin.
Now, for the magic of adding these gases together, we can use Dalton's law of partial pressures. P_total = P_N2 + P_O2.
*nose honk* Sorry for that interruption, let's proceed:
P_total = (n_N2 * R * T) / V_tank + (n_O2 * R * T) / V_tank.
Plugging in the values we calculated earlier:
P_total = (8.10 moles * 8.314 J/(mol·K) * 328 K) / 5.25 L + (68.82 moles * 8.314 J/(mol·K) * 328 K) / 5.25 L.
Aaand let's calculate it!
*Calculating... calculating...*
*beep boop beep* Drumroll, please! After performing the calculations, we find that the total pressure in the tank at 55 degrees Celsius is approximately 1200.58 kPa. Ta-da!
Hope that answers your question in a slightly more entertaining way! *honk honk*
To solve this problem, we can use the ideal gas law equation, which states:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = Number of moles
R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)
T = Temperature (in Kelvin)
Step 1: Convert the temperature to Kelvin.
We have the initial temperature in degrees Celsius, so we need to convert it to Kelvin by adding 273.15.
Initial Temperature of N2 = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Initial Temperature of O2 = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Step 2: Convert the volumes to moles.
To find moles, we can use the ideal gas law equation in rearranged form:
n = PV / RT
For N2:
P = 125 kPa = 125/101.325 = 1.234 atm (approx.)
V = 16.3 L
T = 298.15 K
R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K
n(N2) = (1.234 atm * 16.3 L) / (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 298.15 K)
n(N2) ≈ 0.828 mol
For O2:
P = 125 kPa = 125/101.325 = 1.234 atm (approx.)
V = 41.9 L
T = 298.15 K
R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K
n(O2) = (1.234 atm * 41.9 L) / (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 298.15 K)
n(O2) ≈ 2.47 mol
Step 3: Find the total number of moles by summing the moles of N2 and O2.
Total Moles = n(N2) + n(O2) = 0.828 mol + 2.47 mol ≈ 3.298 mol (approx.)
Step 4: Calculate the total pressure at the new temperature.
We can use the ideal gas law equation again, with the new temperature and volume:
P(total) = (n * R * T) / V(total)
n = 3.298 mol
R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K
T = 55 °C = 55 + 273.15 = 328.15 K (new temperature)
V(total) = 5.25 L (volume of the tank)
P(total) = (3.298 mol * 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 328.15 K) / 5.25 L
P(total) ≈ 6.702 atm (approx.)
Therefore, the total pressure at 55 degrees Celsius is approximately 6.702 atm.
To find the total pressure at 55 degrees Celsius, we need to apply the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law is given by the equation: PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
First, we need to calculate the number of moles of N2 and O2 in their respective containers. To do this, we will use the equation n = PV / RT, where n is the number of moles, P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L•atm/mol•K), and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
For N2:
Volume (V) = 16.3 L
Pressure (P) = 125 kPa = 125/101.325 atm (conversion factor: 1 atm = 101.325 kPa)
Temperature (T) = 25 degrees Celsius = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Using the formula, n = (PV) / (RT), we can calculate the number of moles of N2:
n(N2) = (125/101.325) * (16.3) / (0.0821 * 298.15)
Next, let's calculate the number of moles of O2:
Volume (V) = 41.9 L
Pressure (P) = 125 kPa = 125/101.325 atm
Temperature (T) = 25 degrees Celsius = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Using the formula, n = (PV) / (RT), we can calculate the number of moles of O2:
n(O2) = (125/101.325) * (41.9) / (0.0821 * 298.15)
Now, we need to calculate the total moles of gas in the system by adding the moles of N2 and O2:
Total moles = n(N2) + n(O2)
Now that we have the total moles of gas, we can use the ideal gas law to find the total pressure at 55 degrees Celsius.
Volume (V) = 5.25 L
Temperature (T) = 55 degrees Celsius = 55 + 273.15 = 328.15 K
Using the formula, P = (n * R * T) / V, we can calculate the total pressure:
P = (Total moles * 0.0821 * 328.15) / 5.25
Therefore, the total pressure at 55 degrees Celsius can be calculated by substituting the values into the equation.
