Mixed Gas Problems:

1.       If 690.0 mL of oxygen is collected over water at 26.0 ˚C and 725 mmHg, what is the dry volume of this oxygen sample at 52.0 ˚C and 106.6 kPa?
                            Given: P1 = 725 mmHg x (101.3kPa/760mmHg)
                                             = 96.6 kPa
                                          V1= 690.0 mL, T1 = 26.0˚C or 299K, T2 = 52.0˚C or 325 K, P2 = 106.6 kPa  
                             Required: V2
                           Analysis: V2 = (V1 x P1 x T2) / (P­2 x T1)
                           Solve: V2 = (690.0 mL x 96.6 kPa x 325 K)/ (106.6 kPa x 299 K)
                                           = 679.6 mL                                          
                            *The dry volume of the oxygen sample at 52.0 ˚C and 106.6 kPa is 679.6 mL.

                            Evaluate: The answer makes sense because according to Boyle’s Law, pressure is inversely proportional to volume, and since the pressure of the gas increases, the resulting volume decreases.
                          
2.       If 400.0 mL of hydrogen gas is collected over water at 18.0˚C and a total pressure of 98.6 kPa, what would be the dry volume of this hydrogen sample at STP?      
                               Given: V1 = 400.0 mL, T1 = 18˚C or 291 K, P1 = 98.6 kPa, STP= 273 K and 101.3 kPa

                               Analysis: V2 = (V1 x P1 x T2) / (P­2 x T1)
                               Solve: V2 = (400mL x 98.6 kPa x 273K)/ (101.3 kPa/ 291 K )
                                                = 365.3 mL  
*The dry volume of this hydrogen at STP is 365.3 L

Evaluate: According to Boyle’s law, pressure is inversely proportional to volume, while according to Charle’s Law temperature is directly proportional to volume; and since the pressure increases and the temperature decreases, the volume decreases.

3.       A 6.12 L sample of xenon gas was collected over water at 2.00 X 105 Pa and 80.0˚C.  What would be the gas volume of pure xenon at SATP?
                                   Given: P1= 2.00 X 10­­5 Pa x (1kPa/1 x 103 Pa)
                                                    =200 kPa

                                    Required: V2
                                    Analysis: V2 = (V1 x P1 x T2) / (P­2 x T1)
                                    Solve: V2 = (6.12 L x 200 kPa x 273 K)/ (101.3kPa x 353 K)
                                                      = 9.34 L
            *The gas volume of pure xenon at SATP is 9.34 L.

              Evaluate: : According to Boyle’s law, pressure is inversely proportional to volume, while according to Charle’s Law temperature is directly proportional to volume; and since the pressure decreases and the temperature increases, the expected outcome of volume would be higher than the original.

                                              Given: m KClO3 = 122. 6g , P = 101.3 kPa, T = 298 K, R=  8.31 (L*kPa)/ (K*mol)
                                                  Required: n KClO3 , nO2, VO2
                                                                         Analysis: Solve the mole of KClO3 and O2 first, then calculate the volume
                                              Solve: nKClO3 = 122. 6g x (1mol/ [39.1 + 35.5 + (3 x 16)]
                                                                    = 1 mol
                                                           nO2  = 1 mol KClO3 x (3 mol O2/2 mol KClO3)
                                                                   = 1.5 mol O2

                                                            VO2 = nRT/ P
                                                                   =(1.5 mol x 8.31 (L*kPa)/ (K*mol) x 298 K) / 101.3 kPa
                                                           = 36.7 L

                                                * At STP, the  volume of a gas can be produced by the decomposition of 122.6 g of potassium chlorate  is 36.7 L.

EVALUATE: The volume at STP condition is smaller than at SATP since the temperature at SATP is greater than STP, and according to Charle's Law, temperature is directly proportional to volume, so the greater volume for SATP is acceptable.
