Density Lab B

[Fallsbury]

A liter of liquid nitrogen weights 807 grams and nitrogen has a molecular weight of 28 amu. If the gas is heated to 293 kelvin, what will the final volume be in liters? Assume that pressure remains at 1 atm throughout the process.

Also, can someone tell me how to hide stuff? Thx

- Moles = 807 grams / 28 amu = 28.82 moles

Plug it in the equation:

- PV = nRT --> (1 atm)(V) = (28.82 moles)(0.0821)(293 K)
- V = 693 L (three siginificant figures)

Thats correct! Thanks for telling me about the hide function. If the test asked for sig figs, you would use

number of sig figs (Click to Show Hidden Text)

1 sig fig

and the correct answer would then be

700 liters

Ok,

Fill in the blanks:
1) One hydrogen molecule contains _________________________ atoms.

2) At a constant temperature, pressure and volume are ______________ proportional.

3) The gas law related to #2 is called _______________________.

4) Charles' Law relates _______________ and _______________.

5) The formula for linear density is ______________________.

Complete the problems below:
1) A gas occupies a volume of 1.7 L at 1.22 atm. What is the final pressure of the gas if it expands to 2.4 L?

2) A block has a side length of 9.0 m and weighs 8000 N. A student estimates that the density of the block is 1500 kg/m^3. What is the student's percent of error?

3) A balloon has a volume of 0.30 m^3. If helium is pumped into the balloon at a rate of 0.10 m^3/s for 15 seconds, then what is the force required to lift the balloon? What is the total mass that can be lifted by the balloon?

- Density of Helium = 0.1786 g/L
- Density of Air = 1.225 kg/m^3

4) A person jumps into a pool that is filled with water all the way. After he jumps into the pool, he is completely under the water. the volume of the water displaced will be equivalent to ________________________.
a) the volume of the person
b) the volume of the person
c) 1/2 the volume of the person
d) double the volume of the person

5) A ball has a diameter of 25.0 m and weighs 800.0 kg. If it is completely submerged in a pool of mercury (13.56 g/cm^3) and attached to the bottom of the pool by a string, then what is the tension force in the string?

For Density Lab, the questions seem to consider STP to be 1atm and 273.15K. I read that STP was changed to 10^5 Pa (1 Bar). For regionals/states/nationals, should students use the new STP or the previous one. Furthermore, one mole of a gas at STP should be 22.71L with the new STP not 22.4L. Please help me clarify this for regionals.

[azboy1910]

For STP, I use 1 atm and 273 K, but if they tell you to use 100,000 Pa instead, you definitely should. As for molar volume at STP, I would recommend sticking to 22.4 L as this has also worked for me.

You are correct that, per IUPAC, 1 bar / 22.71L has been correct since 1982. You are also correct that many people continue to use the old definition.

My advice is to use 1 bar / 22.71L, and to write something like IUPAC redefined STP in 1982 in brackets; a decent ES will always mark that correct. Unless using 22.4L gives you a round number (eg. a question producing 33.6L of gas).

1. I apologize if this question was confusing and not worded properly. Here, I was looking for for the amount of atoms (or particles) in a single mole of hydrogen. Therefore, the answer is   particles, as shown below.

    - 1 Hydrogen atom   1 mole of Hydrogen  Avagadro's Number =   particles

2. Correct
3. Correct
4. Correct
5. Correct
