9. When a volatile liquid is completely vaporized in an Erlenmeyer flask, the volume of
the flask (and thus the vapor) can be determined by one of two methods.
One method is by filling up the whole flask with water and then finding out
the water volume by pouring the water into a measuring cylinder over multiple
times and read off its volume.
•
From the topics we learnt this semester, what do you think can be the
other method of determining the volume of water in the flask?
Which method do you think is more accurate? Why? (
Describe in your own words the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases tells us that the energy content of any gas is related only to its temperature. It also tells us that it is possible to compute the "RMS" (root mean squared) velocity of any gas molecule if you know its formula weight and its temperature. Using this information describe how you might compute the RMS velocity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere of the planet Venus (T = 820 F), the RMS velocity of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere of Earth (T = 50 F), or the RMS velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars (T = - 80 F).
In a hydrochloric acid (HCl) molecule, the distance between the hydrogen atom and the chlorine atom is 1.27 × 10-10 meters. The mass of an hydrogen atom is 2 atomic mass units (amu) and the mass of a chlorine atom is 35 amu.
How far from the hydrogen (H) atom is the center of mass of the molecule, in meters?
Justify your answer using your equations and rationale used.
