Question

1.) The density of air at STP is 1.29g/L. If your stoppered "250mL" flask contains 242 ml of water ( also the volume of air it would contain), calculate the mass of air in the flask under STP.



2.) What would be the density of air under 20degree C and 720mm Hg? ( Hint : gas density is proportional to P and inversely proportional to T).


3.) Estimate the avearge molar mass of air assumig it contains 80% N2 and 20% O2.


4.)  Calculate the R value based on density and the avarge  molar mass of air

   a.) under STP

    b.) under 20degree C and 720mm Hg

Explanation / Answer

1.assuming water doe not evaporate inside the flask

8ml of air is present

mass=1.29*.008=.01gm of air is present

2.P/d= constant

760/1.29=720/d

d=1.22 gm/L

3.moles of N2=.8 O2=.2

M=.8*28+.2*32

M=28.8 g/mol

4.P=dRT/M

1=1.29*273*R/28.8

R=.082atm L/mol k

at 720 and 20 degrees

720/760=1.22*293*R/28.8

R=.0763
