Consider two 5 L chambers. In one, there are 5.00 g O₂, and in the other there are 5.00 g He. Which has the higher pressure at room temperature?
A) O₂
B) Не
C) They have equal pressures
D) Not enough info

Respuesta :

Answer:

He have higher pressure at room temperature.

Explanation:

It is given that both the gases are kept in 5 L chambers.

Therefore, volume is constant.

Also, they both are at room temperature, so temperature is also constant.

Now, number of moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{Given\ mass}{Molecular \ mass}=\dfrac{5}{32}=0.16\ mol.[/tex]

Also, number of moles of He =[tex]\dfrac{Given\ mass}{Molecular \ mass}=\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25\ mol.[/tex]

Now, according to GAS LAW,

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]  ( all terms have their usual meaning).

In this case, V, R and T are constant.

So, pressure is directly proportional to n i.e number of moles.

So, moles of He is more than moles of [tex]O_2[/tex].

Therefore, He have higher pressure at room temperature.

Hence , this is the required solution.

The gas that has a higher pressure is He.

Number of moles of oxygen gas = 5.00 g /32 g/mol = 0.156 moles

From PV = nRT

P = ?

V = 5 L

n =  0.156 moles

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

R = 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1

P = nRT/V

P =  0.156 moles × 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1 × 298 K/5 L

P = 0.76 atm

Number of moles of He = 5/4 g/mol = 1.25 moles

P = ?

V = 5 L

n = 1.25 moles

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

R = 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1

P = nRT/V

P =1.25 moles × 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1 × 298 K/5 L

P = 6.11 atm

The gas that has a higher pressure is He.
