CHEM 371 A1/EA1: Problem set 1

Due by 1:00 pm, Monday September 25

Part A: Textbook Suggested Problems


These problems will not be collected and graded. However, you should try them since they will help
with your understanding of the material. If you have any difficulties, please see me. [NOTE: I have
suggested the part (b) Exercises; however, fully-worked solutions to the analogous part (a) Exercises, and
odd-numbered Problems, are available in the Student Solutions Manual.]
Exercises from the textbook: 1A.1(b), 1A.2(b), 1A.4(b), 1A.5(b), 1A.8(b), 1B.1(b), 1C.1(b), 1C.3(b),
1C.4(b), 1C.9(b)
Problems from the textbook: 1A.1, 1A.6, 1A.7, 1B.6, 1C.21
Exercises get you familiar with the basic physical understanding and use of the relevant equations. Problems
usually, but not always, require more careful consideration.
Part B: Suggested problems
These problems will not be collected and graded. However, you should try them since they will help with
your understanding of the material. If you have any difficulties, please see me.

1. The density of a gas sample is 1.03 g L−1 at 311 K and 161 Torr. What is the molar mass in g mol−1 ?
2. Calculate the ratio of mean speeds of He over Hg atoms at 630.0 K. Does the ratio depend on
temperature?
3. What pressure (in bar) would be predicted for 0.8 dm3 of Cl2 weighing 17.5 g at 273.15 K using the
van der Waals equation? NOTE: Please use van der Waals data for Cl2 from the textbook.

Part C: Assigned problems


This problem will be collected and graded. You must show your work and provide a final numerical answer
with appropriate units and a reasonable number of significant figures. In order to receive marks for the
final answer, you must indicate it clearly by placing a box around the answer.

1. The total pressure of a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is 1.00 atm. The mixture is ignited and
the water is removed. The remaining gas is pure hydrogen and exerts a pressure of 0.400 atm when
measured at the same values of T and V as the original mixture. What was the composition (in
terms of mole fraction or mole percent of oxygen and hydrogen) of the original mixture? Clearly
state any assumptions you make in your solution.
