CHAPTER 10 GAS MIXTURES AND REACTIONS
Try This Activity: Producing a “Natural” Gas
(Page 459)
• White cloudy mixture formed with many gas bubbles rising to the surface. Many droplets of liquid were spitting upfrom the surface.
• The lit match was extinguished.
• When the glass was tipped to “pour” the gas over the lit match, the match was also extinguished.
(a) Nitrogen, oxygen, and small quantities of other gases are present in the air.(b) Carbon dioxide is likely present after the reaction, because the gas does not support combustion (a characteristic of
carbon dioxide).(c) If the gas is bubbled through limewater, and the limewater turns cloudy, then carbon dioxide is likely present.(d) It suggests that the gas is more dense than air.(e) Carbon dioxide is used as a fire extinguisher (and also as an effervescent).(f) Carbon dioxide escapes from underground pockets of gas. Natural decomposition of limestone produces bubbles of
carbon dioxide that escape from the surface of lakes. (Other examples include volcanoes and some hot springs.)
10.1 MIXTURES OF GASES
PRACTICE
(Page 461)
Understanding Concepts1. The pressure of CO2(g) is constant at 2 kPa.2. (a) The total pressure is (593.3 + 157 + 11 + 0.5) mm Hg = 762 mm Hg, or the total pressure is (79.11 + 20.9 + 1.5
+ 0.07) kPa = 101.6 kPa.
(b) 762 mm� Hg� � �170610.3m2m�5 k
HPg�a
� � 102 kPa
The pressures of 760 mm Hg and 102 kPa (which is 101.6 kPa rounded to 3 significant digits) are equivalent.3. The partial pressure of helium is (14.0 – 1.1) atm = 12.9 atm.
Reflecting4. (a) Both alloys and the atmosphere are solutions — homogeneous mixtures.
(b) Alloy components are measured by mass, and the law of conservation of mass serves the same purpose for alloysthat Dalton’s law does for gas solutions.
PRACTICE
(Page 463)
Understanding Concepts5. (a) Pressure exerted by a gas is the total force per unit area of the gas molecules striking the interior surface of the
container.(b) Particles move in straight lines unless deviated by some outside force. Intermolecular forces are very small (negli-
gible) for most gases, so the molecules travel in (essentially) straight lines.6. (a) The pressure is directly proportional to the number of gas molecules present — so it should double.
(b) The pressure should still double — the kind of gas molecule is unimportant.(c) Dalton’s law of partial pressures is based on the concept that the kind of molecule is unimportant — the pressure
depends only on the relative numbers of molecules. 7. If gases react, the number and kind of molecules, and therefore the pressure, will change because of the reaction.

Understanding Concepts8. From Table 3, the vapour pressure of water at 23°C is 2.81 kPa, so that will be the partial pressure inside the container.9. Use the Table 3 value for water vapour pressure at 20°C of 2.34 kPa. The partial pressure of nitrogen will be (98.1 –
2.34) kPa = 95.8 kPa.10. (a) Calculate as before, using Table 3. The partial pressure of hydrogen will be (92.4 – 3.17) kPa = 89.2 kPa.
(b) p1 = 89.2 kPa

Applying Inquiry Skills
11. Experimental DesignAmmonia is collected by downward displacement of air in a fume hood, since it is much less dense than air.
Note: In practice, ammonia liquifies easily under only moderate pressure because of hydrogen bonding — soit is usually collected and transported as a liquid, called anhydrous (waterless) ammonia.
Making Connections12. The principal gases above the liquid are carbon dioxide and water vapour. The total pressure is noticeably higher than
atmospheric, so must be significantly greater than 100 kPa.
SECTION 10.1 QUESTIONS
(Page 465)
Understanding Concepts1. (a) The partial pressure of O2(g) is (385 – 240) kPa = 145 kPa.
(b) We assume that the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures.2. (a) The total pressure in is (79.3 + 21.3 + 0.040 + 0.67) kPa = 101.3 kPa, and the total pressure out is (75.9 + 15.5
+ 3.7 + 6.2) kPa = 101.3 kPa.
(b) 101.3 kPa� � �101

(c) Since your lungs are open to the atmosphere when breathing, inhaled and exhaled air must begin and end at thesame (ambient atmospheric) pressure. The change in proportions of the gases are biological evidence that animalsneed oxygen to live — and chemical evidence that reactions have occurred to produce carbon dioxide and watervapour.
89.2 kPa� � 275 mL���
3. Dalton’s law works well for any gases that behave similarly to the “ideal” gas — that have small molecules and lowintermolecular forces, and do not react.
4. Dalton’s law can be explained by two concepts: gas particles act independently; and pressure is caused by particlecollisions with the walls of the container.
5. Dalton’s law works perfectly only for “ideal” gases; but to three significant digits, for most common gases, it workswell.
Making Connections6. Possibilities include the gradual absorption of emitted gases by physical, geological, and biological processes. For
example, carbon dioxide dissolves in water (oceans), and is used by plants to generate sugars through photosynthesis.The carbon in the gas can be followed through biological processes until it is deposited as sediment and buried, even-tually forming limestone.
Reflecting7. Diagrams drawn by students should show the principle illustrated in Figure 2, in a similar fashion. The adding of
amounts must be shown as proportional to the adding of pressures.Visual models are much easier for most people to understand than mathematical models.

Reflecting6. The law of combining volumes is similar to the law of definite proportions in that it shows combination in integer
ratios. It differs in that mass, and not volume, is compared; and also in that it does not apply to different substancesin reactions, but only to compound substances formed from the same elements.

10.3 THE OZONE LAYER
PRACTICE
(Page 479)
Understanding Concepts1. Ozone intercepts mostly the highest-energy (shorter wavelength) UV radiation from the Sun. Some UV radiation is
absorbed by oxygen to become ozone, and some UV radiation is absorbed by ozone decomposing.2. CFCs were developed as stable, non-toxic refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and foaming agents.3. In the upper stratosphere, CFCs initiate reactions that increase the rate of decomposition of ozone.4. An ozone “hole” is a (misleading) name for a region of very low ozone concentration; it is not a region where there
is no ozone.5. uv
CF3 + Br(g) → CFBr2(g) + Br(g)
Br(g) + O3(g) → BrO(g) + O2(g)
BrO(g) + O(g) → Br(g) + O2(g)
6. Ozone depletion is less severe in the Arctic because it is not as cold as the Antarctic, and because there is more airmixing due to prevailing winds.
7. Suntanning time should be decreased proportionally to a drop in the level of ozone in the stratosphere. Currentmedical thinking is that there is no absolutely “safe” level of sunlight exposure; so the perceived benefits of outdooractivities — and particularly of deliberate tanning — must be weighed against the increased risks of skin damage andskin cancer.
SECTION 10.3 QUESTIONS
(Page 480)
Understanding Concepts1. The Montreal Protocol is an agreement among nations to decrease the production and use of CFCs, to try to prevent
damage to stratospheric ozone.2. Freeon-12 is a CFC refrigerant that is routinely recycled.3. HFE can replace CFCs for many uses, and hydrocarbons can be used as refrigerants.4. Canada’s Arctic Observatory and National Research Council contribute to research on effects of CFCs and the
development of alternative substances.5. Stratospheric ozone helps us by filtering potentially harmful UV radiation; but at low levels of the atmosphere (in the
air we breathe) ozone is dangerous — a very reactive and toxic substance.

Making Connections5. One consumer reaction that produces and consumes gases is the burning of propane in an outdoor barbeque. The reac-
tion is:C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 8 H2O(g)
One industrial reaction that consumes a gas is the production of ammonium sulfate fertilizer. The reaction is:
2 NH3(g) � H2SO4(aq) → (NH4)2SO4(s)
One laboratory reaction that produces and consumes gases is the burning of methane (natural gas) in a lab burner. Thereaction is:
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
Reflecting6. (a) All stoichiometry involves the numerical ratios of reactants and products, that is, the ratios of amounts in moles.
(b) In an industry using a chemical reaction, knowledge of stoichiometry is essential to determine how much ofreactant to purchase and use. For example, in the reaction2 NH3(g) � H2SO4(aq) → (NH4)2SO4(s)
used to make fertilizer, the reacting amounts of ammonia and sulfuric acid would have to be calculate beforehand.(c) Adding “just the right amount” of baking powder to a baking mix is an example of consumer use of

CHAPTER 10 SUMMARY
MAKE A SUMMARY
(Page 491)
The law is explained by kineticmolecular theory (e.g. eachmolecule has the same kineticenergy) and intermolecular forcetheory (e.g. in a gas, there arenegligible intermolecular forces).
Dalton’slaw of partial
pressures
The law provides understandingin careers such as commercialdiver, anesthetic technician,meteorologist, and welder.
Evidence and Explanation Empirical Description Applications and Careers
This law provides understandingin careers such as automobiledesigner and mechanic, chemicalengineer, welder, and barbecuedesigner.
Mixtures of gases may react(according to the law of combiningvolumes) or not (according toDalton’s law of partial pressures).
Technological applicationsexplained by this law includegasoline vapour–air mixture inautomobile engines (beforereacting) and exhaust system gasmixtures (after reaction).
Quantitative work in the laboratoryindicates that individual pressuresadd to the total measuredpressure.
Different gas molecules exert thesame pressure (because they allhave the same average kineticenergy at the same temperature).
Mixtures of gases are composedof different molecules.
This law is explained by atomic,molecular, and bonding theory.
Natural phenomena explained bythis law include Earth’s atmosphere.
The sum of individualpressures equals totalpressure.
Each gas actsindependently.

Gases react in simplewhole-number ratiosby volume.
Natural gas, propane, andacetylene react with an optimalfuel-to-air mixture.
Molecules react in ratios thatcreate new molecules that followtheir bonding capacity.

CHAPTER 10 REVIEW
(Page 492)
Understanding Concepts1. (a) The total pressure of a mixture of nonreacting gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual
gases in the mixture.(b) p total = p1 + p2 + p3 + …
2. Dalton’s law of partial pressures can be explained by these two concepts from the kinetic molecular theory:(i) Gas pressure is caused by the collisions of particles (molecules, atoms, ions) with the walls of the container.(ii) Gas molecules essentially act independently of each other.
Therefore, the total pressure (total of the collisions with the walls) is the sum of the individual pressures (collisions of only one kind of particle) of each gas present.
Note: Point (ii) presupposes, of course, that students know/assume that all particles at the same temperature have the same average kinetic energy.
3. p total = (230 + 13 + 7) kPa = 250 kPa4. p O2
= {100 (exactly) – 3.17} kPa = 96.83 kPa
5. (a)When measured at the same temperature and pressure, volumes of gaseous reactants and products of chemical reac-tions are found to be (to three significant digits) in simple ratios of whole numbers.

6. Avogadro’s idea is theoretical. It attempts to explain observed (empirical) gas behaviour by proposing that equalvolumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules. This proposal is a productof intellect, not observation, and so is a theory, not a law.

For best accuracy, and to avoid perpetuating possible errors in preceding steps, calculating from original values is usu-ally preferable, where possible.

The mass of water decomposed is 37.7 mg.13. According to Dalton’s law of partial pressures and Avogadro’s theory, the partial pressure of any gas in a mixture must
be proportional to its mole fraction. Since the mixture has 2.00 mol N2(g) and 3.00 mol H2(g), totalling 5.00 mol; andthe total pressure is 200 kPa;

b) When pressure increases, the molar volume of a gas decreases.
Applying Inquiry Skills15. (a) Prediction

16. Experimental DesignA cylinder of compressed gas is used to release a noble gas, which is collected at ambient conditions by water dis-placement. The amount is calculated from volume, temperature, and pressure measurements. The molar mass is cal-culated from the amount and the measured mass, and is used to identify the gas.

Making Connections18. (a) Freons were initially used as refrigerants, and soon became popular as aerosol propellants, and then later as the
foaming agent for making foam plastics, and as a non-stick, non-toxic solvent for use by the electronics industry.(b) The production of Freons is banned in many countries, including Canada, because these compounds react in the
upper atmosphere to produce chlorine atoms — which, in turn, catalyze the decomposition of ozone. Thisincreases environmental damage from ultraviolet rays.

(b) Ethanethiol added to natural gas increases safety when the natural gas is used as a heating fuel, since any leak can bedetected quickly, before the area becomes an explosion hazard. However, the compound is hazardous to handle inundiluted form before it is mixed with natural gas, and it produces the pollutant sulfur dioxide when burned.
20. A typical answer might include discussion of the production of nitrogen oxides, symbolized NOX, by heavy vehicletraffic in metropolitan areas. NOX encourages smog formation, reacting with sunlight and oxygen to cause an increasein ground-level ozone. Ozone, O3(g), is thought to be the primary agent causing smog damage to vegetation, and is atoxic and irritant gas to humans, interfering with lung function.
