Accepted Answer

$$0.19\ 	ext{mol}$$

Question 11

If the flask from the previous question is cooled to $$-40\ ^\circ	ext{C}$$, what is the new pressure of the O$$_2$$ gas (assuming constant volume and moles)?

Accepted Answer

$$1.3\ 	ext{atm}$$

Question 12

Which of the following is a correct expression for the density $$d of a $$gas using the ideal gas law?

Accepted Answer

$$d = \dfrac{PM}{RT}$$

Question 13

A sample of CO$$_2 is at 745 mm Hg $$and 65°C. What is the density of CO$$_2$$ under these conditions? (Molar mass of CO$$_2 = 44.01 g/$$mol, $$R = 0.0821\ 	ext{L} \cdot 	ext{atm} / 	ext{mol} \cdot 	ext{K})$$
