Calculate the pressure, in atmospheres, exerted by each of the following:

a) 2.50 L HF containing 1.35 mol at 320.0 G
b) 4.75 L NO2 containing 0.86 mol at 300.0 K
c) 5.50 × 104 mL CO2 containing 2.15 mol at 57°C

a) 14.2 atm

b) 4.46 atm

c) 1.06 atm

Explanation:

For an ideal gas,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume occupied by the gas

n = number of moles of the gas

R = molar gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature of the gas in Kelvin

a) For HF,

P =?, V = 2.5L, n = 1.35 moles, T = 320K

P = 1.35 × 0.08206 × 320/2.5

P = 14.2 atm

b) For NO₂

P =?, V = 4.75L, n = 0.86 moles, T = 300K

P = 0.86 × 0.08206 × 300/4.75

P = 4.46 atm

c) For CO₂

P =?, V = 5.5 × 10⁴ mL = 55L, n = 2.15 moles, T = 57°C = 330K

P = 2.15 × 0.08206 × 330/55

P = 1.06 atm

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.
