IDEAL GAS LAW

Oxygen gas having a volume of 1000 cm3 at 40.0 C and 1.01 x 105 Pa expands until its
volume is 1500 cm3 and its pressure is 1.06 x 105 Pa. Find (a) the number of moles of
oxygen present and (b) the final temperature of the sample.

Given:
Oxygen Gas:
Volume = 1000cm3 and 1500 cm3
Pressure = 1.01 x 105 Pa and 1.06 x 105
Gas constant (R) = 8.31J/mol.K
Temperature = 40.0⁰C
solve for the number of moles of oxygen present (n)
Solution:
In solving the ideal-gas law equation pV = nRT for n, we first convert the temperature to
the Kelvin scale: Ti  (40.0 273.15) K =313.15 K, and the volume to SI units: V i = 1000
cm3 = 10-3 m3.

pV = nRT

n = pV/RT

(a) The number of moles of oxygen present is.

(b) the final temperature of the sample.

Similarly, the ideal gas law pV = nRT leads to

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen present is 3.88 x 10-2 mol and the final
temperature of the sample is 493.13K or approximately 413K.

TRANSLATIONAL KINETIC ENERGY


What is the average translational kinetic energy of nitrogen molecules at 1600 K?

Given:
NitrogenT = 1600 K

Solution:

The average translational kinetic energy is given by kTavg  3/2Kt, where k is the
Boltzmann constant (1.38  10–23 J/K) and T is the temperature on the Kelvin scale.

Thus,

Kave =

2 (
1.38× 10−23

= 3.31  10–20 J

Therefore, the average translational kinetic energy of nitrogen molecules at 1600K is


3.31  10–20 J.

The Molar Specific Heats of an Ideal Gas

The mass of a gas molecule can be computed from its specific heat at constant volume
cV. (Note that this is not CV.) Take cV 0.075 cal/g.C⁰ for argon and calculate (a) the
mass of an argon atom and (b) the molar mass of argon.

Given:
Constant Volume (cV) = 0.075 cal/g.C⁰

where we have converted joules to calories and taken advantage of the fact that a
Celsius degree is equivalent to a unit change on the Kelvin scale. Since (for a given
substance) M is effectively a conversion factor between grams and moles, we see that
cV (see units specified in the problem statement) is related to CV by CV = cv M where M =
mNA, and m is the mass of a single atom.

(a) the mass of an argon atom

(b) (b) the molar mass of argon

Therefore, the mass of an argon atom and the molar mass of an argon is 6.6 ×10−26kg
and 37g/mol respectively.
