What percent of a sample of nitrogen must be allowed to escape if its temperature, pressure and volume are to be changed from 220°C, 3.0 atm and 1.65 L to 110°C, 0.7 atm and 1.0 L, respectively?
Correct answer: D. 81.8%
- A. 41.4%
- B. 8.18%
- C. 4.14%
- D. 81.8%
Explanation
In order to solve this question, the following steps must be followed; 1) find n1(initial moles) and n2 (final moles) 2) to find the remaiing fraction divide n2 by n1 3) to find the fraction escaped substract the remaining fraction from the original/whole which is always 1. 4) to find the percentage escaped dvide the fraction escaped by original fraction and multiply it by 100%. Data to be used: -> Initial (1) Pressure =3 atm Volume = 1.65 L Temperature = 220 + 273 = 493K ->Final(2) Pressure =0.7 atm Volume = 1.0 L Temperature =110 + 273 =383K PRO-TIP *Take R as R for both as this is a comparison question where R cancels out. Using the value of R might complicate the calculation. The solution for this question is given below:

About Ideal Gas Equation
The ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, relates pressure, volume, amount and absolute temperature when gas particles are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces. Applications include finding molar mass, density or an unknown gas variable, with careful use of Kelvin temperature and consistent units, and comparison with real-gas behaviour.

Assuming that air is 79% by mole of N2, 20 mole % O2 and 1% Ar, the density of air at 25°C and 1 atm is:
1 liter flask contains nitrogen along with a drop or two of water at 40° C, the total pressure being 760 Torr. If all the contents are transferred to another flask of 0.5L at the same temperature. The pressure of nitrogen setup in the second flask will be: (aqueous tension at 40 °C 55 torr):
0.2 g of a gas X occupies a volume of 0.44 L at same pressure and temperature. Under identical conditions of P and T, 0.1 g of CO2 gas occupies 0.32 L. Gas X can be :
A vessel has N2 gas and water vapours at a total pressure of 1 atm. The partial pressure of water vapours is 0.3 atm. The contents of this vessel are transferred to another vessel having one third of the capacity of original volume, completely at the same temperature. The total pressure of this system in the new vessel is:
Blood circulation in human body provides O2 and emits CO2. The concentration of O2 and CO2 is variable, but on an average 0.02 g O2 and 0.08 g CO2 present in an 100 ml of blood. Find the volume of O2 and CO2 in the blood of human (assuming 9.5 L) at 1 atm and 37oC body temperature.
At 100.C and 1 atm, if the density of liquid water is 1.0 g/cc and that of water vapour is 0.0006 g/cc, then the volume occupied by water molecule in one litre of steam at that temperature is:
