1. Three 25.0-L flasks are placed next to each other on a shelf in a chemistry stockroom.

The first flask contains He at a pressure of 1.0 atm, the second contains Xe at 1.50 atm,
and the third contains F2 and has a label that says 2.0 mol F2. Consider the following
questions about these flasks.

a. Which flask has the greatest number of moles of gas?


b. If you wanted each of the flasks to be at the same pressure as the He flask, what
general things could you do to the other two containers to make this happen?

2. You have three identical flasks, each containing equal amounts of N2, O2, and He. The
volume of the N2 flask is doubled, the O2 flask volume is halved, and the He flask
volume is reduced to one-third of the original volume. Rank the flasks from highest to
lowest pressure both before and after the volume is changed and indicate by what factor
the pressure has changed.

3. You fill a balloon with helium gas to a volume of 2.68 L at 23 °C and 789 mmHg. Now
you release the balloon. What would be the volume of helium if its pressure changed to
632 mmHg but the temperature was unchanged?

4. A 120 mL flask contained 0.345g of a gaseous compound at 100 °C and 760. Torr
pressure. What is the molecular weight of the compound?

5. Sodium hydrogen carbonate is also known as baking soda. When this compound is
heated, it decomposes to sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. What
volume (in liters) of carbon dioxide gas at 77 °C and 756 mmHg will be produced
from 26.8 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate?

6. A sample of natural gas is 85.2% methane, CH4, and 14.8% ethane, C2H6, by mass.
What is density of this mixture at 18 ⁰C and 771 mmHg?
