1. The density of a gas sample is 1.03 g L−1 at 311 K and 161 Torr. What is the molar mass in g mol−1 ?
2. Calculate the ratio of mean speeds of He over Hg atoms at 630.0 K. Does the ratio depend on
temperature?
3. What pressure (in bar) would be predicted for 0.8 dm3 of Cl2 weighing 17.5 g at 273.15 K using the
van der Waals equation? NOTE: Please use van der Waals data for Cl2 from the textbook.
1. The total pressure of a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is 1.00 atm. The mixture is ignited and
the water is removed. The remaining gas is pure hydrogen and exerts a pressure of 0.400 atm when
measured at the same values of T and V as the original mixture. What was the composition (in
terms of mole fraction or mole percent of oxygen and hydrogen) of the original mixture? Clearly
state any assumptions you make in your solution.
