1) An iron cylinder contains He at a pressure of 250KPa at 300K. the cylinder can withstand a pressure of 1X10^6 Pa. The room in which the cylinder is placed catches fire. Predict whether the cylinder will blow up before it melts or not.....
2) The density of a gas at 27 degrees celcius and 760mm pressure was found to be 3g/l. Find out the temperature at which the density will become 2.4g/l, keeping pressure constant
Please answer
Thanks :)

okay I actually got the second one but want to confirm if it is 375K
Please answer the first one....astar..or adi and slvri

In bed. Will answer when i get up.

okay....take ur time :D

1/ the volume is constant since it is the volume of the room.
so 
Much more borderline than before, but still I say it wont melt.I think it will not melt since the temp of the fire is typically up to 1000K so the pressure will be less than 10^6
2)P1/d1=P2/d2
temp will be 2.4/3 *300=240K

Sorry I made a blunder
I've modified the question

I've modified it...please answer ???

Please answer
Thanks :)
this is physics right..........u guys are already so far ahead? i dont know how to answer this q cuz i aint studied this.........sory :-[
-
I modified my post too.
-
thanks sir
but shouldn't the second be 1/T1d1=1/T2d2
considering vapour density :-\

No problem slvri
-
pV= K but d=m/V soV=M/d so p/d=K
-
pV= K but d=m/V soV=M/d so p/d=K
In this case the pressure is constant ???
so isn't it
t1d1=t2d2
300KX3=2.4Xt2
t2=375K
I'm confused :-\
-
it says in the question the pressure is constant

another question
0.23g of a volatile solute displaced 112ml of air at NTP. Calculate the vapour density and the molecular weight of the substabce
-
another question
0.23g of a volatile solute displaced 112ml of air at NTP. Calculate the vapour density and the molecular weight of the substabce
density =0.23g/112cm^3 =2.3*10^-4 kg /112*10-6 m^3 =2.05 KG/m^3
1 mol of a gas occupies 2240ml at ntp so we have 112/2240=0.5 mols.
0.5 mols weighs 0.23g so 1 mole weighs 0.23/0.05=46g
1 mol contains 6.023*10^23 molecules so 1 molecule weighs 0.046/6.023*10^23 kg
-
answer is 46.02 and 23.01 ???
-
46 and 23.
-
isn't density supposed to be in the form g/cm^3......the mass of 1 mole is 46g...so is the density 46g/cm^3....can u just take it like that??
-
g/cm3 would be 46/22400
-
cos at ntp 1 mol of gas occupies 22400ml or 22400cm^3
-
ok got it...thanks sir

another 1 :P
The pressure exerted by a 12g of ideal gas at temp t degrees Celsius in a vessel V Litre is 1atm. When the temp is increased by 10 degrees at the same volume, the pressure increases by 10%. Calculate the temp t and voluume V.(molecular weight of gas=120)
ans
t=-173 degrees
V-0.82 L
-
can some1 please answer.....i need to leave for my class in an hour...pleeeeaaaaaaase

0.1 mol of gas so pV=nRT so V=nRT/p=0.1*8.31*100/100000=8.31*10^-4 m3 or 0.83 ltres

thanks a lot astar :)
one more please
A balloon filled with helium rises to a certain height at which it gets fully inflated to a volume of 100000 litres. If at this altittude the pressure is 0.02 atm and temp is 268K, what weight of helium is required to fully inflate the balloon
when i used PV=nRT i don't get the right answer
Ans-36.36g
-
no one answrin :(
-
astar is offline.
-
i know dude...some1 else could try
-
he is online.~

Ans-36.36g
n=pV/RT=(0.02*10^5*100)/(8.31*268)=89.8 mols
i mole of helium weighs 4g so 89.8 mols weighs 4*89.8=359.2g
-
answer - 36
astar's answer = 359.2 ]
??
misprint?
-
I checked it too. I still get the same. what did you get?
-
lol..i cannot solve an A/AS level physics question. Only maths questions (most of them)
the answer says - 36g
-
thin k there may be a factor of 10 too much somewhere.
-
okay.
-
please try....i got the same answer...what's the matter with this question?? r we using the wrong method?
-
I need help with one more question...
Actually i don't know the formulae for finding out partial pressure...wet and dry gas and stuff....cuz i joined classes late
1) Oxygen is collected over water at 20 degrees Celsius . The pressure inside is shown by the gas is 740mm of Hg. What is the pressure of O2 alone if V.P of H2O is 18mm at 20 degrees celsius
do u simply do 740mm-18mm?? Please help
-
Exactly
-
pV= K but d=m/V soV=M/d so p/d=K
ummmm.....i dont really know i need this or not in my exams bt just for my curiosity....cud u plsss expand how u got dese....i understood d first 3.....bt how d last one?????
Thanks in advance....By the way is this A levels???
-
Exactly
THanks a lot astar :) U rock!!
-
pV= K
d=m/V so dV=m so V=m/d so pm/d =K so p/d=K/m =C another constant.
Not the mass m of the gass is fixed so now pressure/density=constant
-
ok few more please
For 10 min each, at 27 degrees celsius,from 2 identical holes,nitrogen and an unknown gas are leaked into a common vessel of 3 litre capacity. The resulting pressure is 4.18 bar and mixture contains 0.4 mole of nitrogen. WHat is the molar mass of the unknown gas?
-

ohhkkk......Thanks astar......By the way is this a levels or igcse?????this wont come in my exam rite????

nope it won't....it's an iit question....don't worry

pv=nRT
4.18*10^5*0.003=n*8.31*300 so n=0.503 moles so 0.103 moles unknown gas. The kinetic energies are the same(=3/2kT=1/2mv^2) so v=k/sqrt(m) the unknown gas diffuses at 1/4 the rate of nitogen so its mass must be 16 times greater 16*15=240g/mol
-
I didn't get it....do you mind explaining it please....
like why did u take V=0.003?? and the kinetic energy part of it
-
3 litres =3000/1000000 m3
The kinetic energy of a gas molecule is 3/2kT so all the molecules have the same energy. The kinetic energy is given by 1/2mv^2 s0o mv^2 for nitrogen =mv^2 for the unknown gas so m is inversly proprtional to v^2. I will make a correction to my earlier post.

thanks a lot astar :)

It's me again ::)
A stopclock, connecting two bulbs of volumes 5l and 10l containing an ideal gas at 9atm and 6atm respectively is opened. What is the final pressure in the two bulbs??
-
And one more
An open flask contains air at 27degrees celsius.Calculate the temperature at which it should be heated so that
a)1/3 of the air measured at 27degrees escapes out
b)1/3 of air measured at final temp escapes out
-

partial pressures question
pressure of gas 1 =5/(5+10)*9=3atm
pressure gas 2 =10/(5+10)*6=4atm
partial =7atm
-
An open flask contains air at 27degrees celsius.Calculate the temperature at which it should be heated so that
a)1/3 of the air measured at 27degrees escapes out
b)1/3 of air measured at final temp escapes out
1/3 escapes so volume is 3/2 of original volume so temple is 3/2*(273+27)=450K
I dont understand B. 1/3 of the air is 1/3 of the air does it mean the gas is heated again? If so 3/2*(450)=675K
-
even i don't know abt the b part
thanks for the other ones tho :)
-
sir can u explain the partial pressure thing
how is 10/15=4
-
it is 10/15 * 6atm=4.mole fraction * pressure. ::)
-
I corrected my post
-
it is 10/15 * 6atm=4.mole fraction * pressure. ::)
thanks. I just started with the concept...so i really don't know
-
You calculae the pressure that would be exerted by each gas if it occupied the whole volume then add them
