1.00 liter of $O_2$ gas at 760 torr pressure and 0°C has a mass of 1.42 g. If the pressure on the gas is increased to 8.00 atm at 0°C, what is the density of the $O_2$ in grams/liter?

Before doing any calculation, try to predict what you should see happen to the of the gas.

Under the initial conditions for pressure and temperature, the oxygen gas had a density of

$color(blue)(rho = m/V)$

$rho = "1.42 g"/"1.00 L" = "1.42 g/L"$

Notice that temperature remains constant, but pressure increases. As you know, pressure and volume have an inverse relationship when temperature and number of moles of gas are kept constant - this is known as .

So, if pressure increases, that means that volume will decrease. Since the same mass of gas will now occupy a smaller volume, you can say that the density of the gas will increase.

Now let's prove this by doing some calculations. The equation that describes looks like this

$color(blue)(P_1V_1 = P_2V_2)" "$, where

$P_1$, $V_1$ - the pressure and volume of the gas at an initial state
$P_2$, $V_2$ - the pressure and volume of the gas at a final state

Plug in your values and solve for $V_2$ - do not forget to convert the pressure of the gas from mmHg to atm

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 implies V_2 = P_1/P_2 * V_1$

$V_2 = (760/760 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("atm"))))/(8.00color(red)(cancel(color(black)("atm")))) * "1.00 L" = "0.125 L"$

This time, the density of the sample will be

$rho = "1.42 g"/"0.125 L" = "11.36 g/L"$

I'll leave the answer rounded to three , despite the fact that you only have two sig figs for the initial pressure of the gas

$rho = color(green)("11.4 g/L")$

A rectangular prism of volume $84$ $cm^3$ has a mass of $760$ $g$. What is the density of the rectangular prism?

$rho$ $=$ $(760*g)/(84*cm^3)$ $~=$ $10*g*cm^-3$ to a first (very rough) approx. Doing the calculations this way, i.e. with the units included, is a check on the validity of our...

How would you calculate the density, in grams per liter, of a gas at STP if 3.78 L of the gas at 28.8 Celsius and 765.6 mm Hg weighs 0.791 g?

This question involves the . The equation for the combined gas law is: $(V_1P_1)/T_1=(V_2P_2)/T_2$ The density of a substance changes with change in temperature. This is because the...

As an empty 1,000-mililiter container has a mass of 250.0 grams. When flled with a liquid, the container and the liquid have a combined mass of 1,300. grams. What is the density of the liquid?

And thus we work out the quotient with the given data; note that we have to subtract the tare weight, i.e. the mass of the container: $"Mass"/"Volume"=(1300*g-250*g)/(1000*mL)=(1050*g)/(1000*mL)$ $=1.05*g*mL^-1...................$

A 0.176 mol sample of Kr gas is contained in a 8.00 L flask at room temperature and pressure. What is the density of the gas, in grams/liter, under these conditions?

First, we need to find the mass of $"Kr"$ by using the equation: $m/M_r=n$, where: $m$ = mass ($g$) $M_r$ = molar mass ($gcolor(white)(l)mol^-1$) $n$ = number of moles...

Water can be formed from the stoichiometric reaction of hydrogen with oxygen: $2H_2(g) + O_2(g) + 2H_2O(g)$. A complete reaction of 5.0 g of $O_2$ with excess hydrogen produces how many grams of $H_2O$?

$2H_2(g) + O_2(g) rarr 2H_2O(g)$ We started with $(5.0*g)/(32.00*g*mol^-1)=0.156*mol" dioxygen"$. Given excess dihydrogen, this molar quantity thus gives $2xx0.156*mol$ water. And thus, $2xx0.156*molxx18.01*g*mol^-1~=6*g$ water are evolved. Is this reaction exothermic...
