An equimolar mixture of N2(g) and Ar(g) is kept inside a rigid container at a constant temperature of 300 K. The initial partial pressure of Ar in the mixture is 0.75atm. An additional amount of Ar was added to the container, enough to double the number of moles of Ar gas in the mixture. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the final pressure of the gas mixture after the addition of the Ar gas?
2.25atm, because doubling the number of moles of Ar doubles its partial pressure.
At 10 degrees C, 20g of oxygen exerts a pressure of 2.1 atm in a rigid,7.0 L cylinder. Assuming ideal behavior, of the temperature of the gas was raised to 40 degrees C, which statement indicates the new pressure?
2.3 atm, because the pressure P increased by the proportion 313/283

A gas mixture at 0°C and 1.0atm contains 0.010mol of H2, 0.015mol of O2, and 0.025molof N2. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the partial pressure of hydrogen gas (H2) in the mixture?
About 0.20atm, because H2 comprises 20% of the total number of moles of gas.
A gaseous air‑fuel mixture in a sealed car engine cylinder has an initial volume of 600.mL at 1.0atm. To prepare for ignition of the fuel, a piston moves within the cylinder, reducing the volume of the air‑fuel mixture to 50.mL at constant temperature. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the new pressure of the air‑fuel mixture?
About 12atm, because the volume of the gas mixture decreased by a factor of 12.
van der walls equation
An equation of the state for gases that modifies the ideal gas equation to account for intrinsic molecular volume and intermolecular forces (P+n2a/v2)(V-nb)=nRT - need to know that a is adding pressure since it is lower in real gases - b is used to subtract volume since it is higher in real gases
Why do not all real gases behave ideally at high pressure and low temperatures
As pressure is increased the particles are pushed closer together which results in the volume of the gas molecules becoming significant. As the temperature decreases the particles are moving slower and the intermolecular attractions become significant.
How does temperature affect diffusion
As temperature increases, the rate of diffusion increases since the particles are moving faster
A student is doing experiments with CO2(g). Originally, a sample of gas is in a rigid container at 299K and 0.70 atm. The student increases the temperature of the CO2(g) in the container to 425K. Describe the effect of raising the temperature on the motion of the CO2(g) molecules. Calculate the pressure of the CO2(g) in the container at 425K. In terms of the , briefly explain why the pressure of the CO2(g) in the container changes as it is heated to 425K.
As you increase the temperature, or the average , of the CO2(g) molecules, the speed of the molecules increases as well. 0.70 atm/299 K = P2/425 K, which gets us 0.99 atm. Faster-moving gas particles collide more frequently and forcefully with the walls of the container, increasing the overall pressure.
The gases CO2(g) and NH3(g) can be liquefied at 20°C by compressing them to sufficiently high pressures. A student claims that NH3(g) can be liquefied at a lower pressure than CO2(g) can be liquefied. Which of the following is the best justification for this claim?
CO2 is a nonpolar molecule that has London dispersion intermolecular forces that are weaker than the dipole-dipole and London dispersion forces between the polar NH3 molecules.

The student measures the actual pressure of CO2(g) in the container at 425K and observes that it is less than the pressure predicted by the ideal gas law. Explain this observation.
The attractive forces between CO2(g) molecules result in a pressure that is lower than that predicted by the ideal gas law. Since the particles are attracted to each other, they aren't colliding with the walls of the container as often as ideal gases with no attractive forces would.
A 1 L sample of helium gas at 25C and 1 atm is combined with a 1 L sample of neon gas at 25C and 1 atm. The temperature is kept constant. Which of the following statements about combining the gases is correct?
The average kinetic energy of the helium atoms and neon atoms do not change when the gases are combined.
How does molecule size affect diffusion
The bigger the molecules, the slower the diffusion. This is because these molecules contain more mass and make slower movements.
The diagrams above represent two samples of gas in containers of equal volume at . Which of the following correctly compares the two samples in terms of their deviation from ideal gas behavior and explains why?(sample 1 has 4 atoms and sample 2 has 9 atoms)
The gas in sample 2 would deviate more from ideal behavior because the atoms are closer together, leading to an increase in intermolecular attractions.
Diffusion
The mixing of gases
The graph above shows the distribution of molecular speeds for four different gases at the same temperature. What property of the different gases can be correctly ranked using information from the graph, and why?

Ar(g) deviates more from ideal behavior at extremely high pressures than Ne(g) does. Which of the following is one reason for this difference?

Two sealed, rigid 5.0L containers each contain a gas at the same temperature but at a different pressure, as shown above. Also shown are the results of transferring the entire contents of container 1 to container 2. No gases escape during the transfer. Assuming ideal behavior, which statement is correct regarding the total pressure of the gases after they are combined?
The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas because pressure only depends on the total amount of gas when volume and temperature are held constant.

Avogadro's Law Equation

Pressure vs ideal gases
When the gas particles are close together due to a large number of particles, this can cause more attractive forces. The pressure of real gases is usually lower than the pressure of ideal gases due to attractive forces. When particles are attracted to each other, IMFs become significant and the particles aren't hitting the walls of the container as often.
