5.7AThe balanced equation is 2CD (g )→C2 ( g )+D2 ( g ), so n does not change.

Therefore, given constant P, the temperature, T, must double: T 1=−73C+273.15=200K ;

so T 2=400K , or 400K −273.15=127C

5.7BT 1=−73C+273.15=200K

T 2=−155C+273.15=118K

The temperature has been reduced by 14 ; if n were constant, V would also be reduced by

14 . But, since

V has been halved, n must be doubled. The number of moles of gas doubles (from 2 mol to 4 mol) in equation (2).

(c) 1000 L of air containing 0.0004 g of Br2 gas(d) 1000 L of air containing 2.8×1022 molecules of CO2

5.148 One way to prevent emission of the pollutant NO from industrial plants is by a catalyzed reaction with NH 3:

4 NH3 (g )+4NO (g )+O2 (g )→4N2 (g )+6H2O (g )

(a) If the NO has a partial pressure of 4.5×10−5 atm in the flue gas, how many liters of NH 3 are needed per liter of flue gas at 1.00 atm?

(b) If the reaction takes place at 1.00 atm and 365 C, how many grams of NH 3 are needed per kL of flue gas?

5.149 An equimolar mixture of Ne and Xe is accidentally placed in a container that has a tiny leak. After a short while, a very small proportion of the mixture has escaped. What is the mole fraction of Ne in the effusing gas?

5.150* From the relative rates of effusion of 235 ,UF6 and 238 ,UF6, find the number of steps needed to produce a sample of the enriched fuel used in many nuclear reactors, which is 3.0 mole % 235 ,U . The natural abundance of 235 ,U is 0.72%.

5.151 A slight deviation from ideal behavior exists even at normal conditions. If it behaved ideally, 1 mol of CO would occupy 22.414 L and exert 1 atm pressure at 273.15 K. Calculate PVDW for 1.000

mol of CO at 273.15 K. (UseR=0.08206 atm ⋅Lmol ⋅K )

5.152* In preparation for a combustion demonstration, a professor fills a balloon with equal molar amounts of H 2 and O2, but the demonstration has to be postponed until the next day. During thenight, both gases leak through pores in the balloon. If 35% of the H 2 leaks, what is the O2 /H 2 ratio in

the balloon the next day?

5.153 Phosphorus trichloride is important in the manufacture of insecticides, fuel additives, and flame retardants. Phosphorus has only one naturally occurring isotope, 31 ,P, whereas chlorine has two, 35 ,Cl(75%) and 37 ,Cl (25%).

(a) What different molecular masses (in amu) can be found for PCl3 ? (b) Which is the most abundant? (c) What is the ratio of the effusion rates of the heaviest and the lightest PCl3 molecules?

5.154 A truck tire has a volume of 218 L and is filled with air to 35.0 psi at 295 K. After a drive, the air heats up to 318 K.

(a) If the tire volume is constant, what is the pressure (in psi)? (b) If the tire volume increases 2.0%, what is the pressure (in psi)? (c) If the tire leaks 1.5 g of air per minute and the temperature is constant, how many minutes will

it take for the tire to reach the original pressure of 35.0 psi (M of air 5 28.8 g/mol)?

5.155 Allotropes are different molecular forms of an element, such as dioxygen (O2) and ozone (O3). (a) What is the density of each oxygen allotrope at 0 C and 760 torr? (b) Calculate the ratio of densities, dO3

/dO 2 , and explain the significance of this number.

5.156* When gaseous F2 and solid I 2 are heated to high temperatures, the I 2 sublimes and gaseous iodine heptafluoride forms. If 350. torr of F 2 and 2.50 g of solid I 2 are put into a 2.50-L container at 250 K and the container is heated to 550 K, what is the final pressure (in torr)? What is the partial pressure of I 2 gas?
