CHM 107 Recitation 6

Q1. Assuming that air contains 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and 1 percent Ar, all
by volume, how many molecules of each type of gas are present in 1.0 L of air at STP?

Q2. Calculate the density of hydrogen bromide gas in grams per liter at 733 mmHg and
46°C.

Q3. The density of a mixture of fluorine and chlorine gases is 1.77 g/L at 14°C and 0.893
atm. Calculate the mass percent of the gases.
Q4. Methane, the principal component of natural gas, is used for heating and cooking. The
combustion process is
CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l)
If 15.0 moles of CH4 are reacted, what is the volume of CO2 (in liters) produced at 23.0°C and
0.985 atm?

Q5. In alcohol fermentation, yeast converts glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide:
C6H12O6(s) →2C2H5OH (l) + 2CO2 (g)
If 5.97 g of glucose are reacted and 1.44 L of CO2 gas are collected at 293 K and 0.984 atm,
what is the percent yield of the reaction?

Q6. A sample of ammonia (NH3) gas is completely decomposed to nitrogen and hydrogen
gases. If the total pressure is 866 mmHg, calculate the partial pressures of N2 and H2.
