1. Carry out the following conversions.

a) 735. mm Hg to torr
b) 785. torr to atm
c) 738. torr to mm Hg

(a) 735.mm Hg 1 torr = 735 torr

1 mm Hg
Ans: 735 mm Hg =735 torr

(b) 785 torr 1 atm = 1.03 atm

760 torr
Ans: 785 torr = 1.03 atm

(c) 738 torr 1 mm Hg = 738 mm Hg

1 torr

2. A gas has a volume of 350. mL at 740. torr. How many milliliters will the gas
occupy at 900. torr if the temperature remains constant?

P1V1=P2V2
P1=0.973 atm, V1=350.mL, P2 =1.18 atm

(Here since the temperature doesn’t change, therefore T1=T2)

V2=289 ml
3. What must the pressure be if one wished to compress nitrogen at 755. torr
from a volume of 740. mL to a volume of 525. mL? The temperature is
constant.

P1V1=P2V2

(Here since the temperature doesn’t change, therefore T1=T2)

P1= 0.993, V1=0.740 L, V2= 0.525 L, P2=?

4. A gas exerts a pressure of 350. torr at 20.°C. How many torr will it exert if
the temperature is raised to 40.°C. The volume is constant.

(Here volume is constant , so V1=V2)

P1= 0.460 atm ,P2=?, T1=290.K , T2=310.K

= 0.49 atm = 370 torr

5. Helium in a 100-mL container at a pressure of 525. torr is transferred to a

250-mL container. What is the new pressure

a) if there is no change in temperature?

P1V1= P2V2
P1=0.691, P2=?, V1=0.1L, V2=0.25 L

b) If the temperature is decreased from 24° to15°C?

P2=0.2 atm
6. What is the density of butane, C4H10, at STP expressed in grams per liter?

Density= mass/ volume

Volume at STP, when 1 mole is taken = 22.4 L
Density= 58/22.4 = 2.6 g/L

7. What volume in liters does 1.00 mol of oxygen occupy at 20.0°C and 760
torr?

PV=nRT
P= 1 atm,V=?, n=1,R=0.0821, T=293.15K
1*V=1*0.0821*293.15
Volume of oxygen = 24.1 L

8. What kinds of intermolecular attractive forces (dipole-dipole, London,

hydrogen bonding) are present in the following?

a) HF ………….Hydrogen bonding (special type of dipole-dipole attraction in which hydrogen

is bound to a highly electronegative atom.)

b) CS2……….....London dispersion (non polar molecule)

c) SF6 ………….London dispersion (non polar molecule)

d) SO2……………dipole-dipole
9. Which should have the higher boiling point, diethyl ether or butanol?
Briefly explain your answer.

>

Butanol would have a higher boiling point as it has hydrogen attached to the electronegative
atom of Oxygen. This hydrogen would form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the Oxygen on
the other butanol molecule. In this way, a comparatively strong web is made, which is not the
case with the Diethyl ether molecule. Therefore, it would require more energy to separate the
molecules of Butanol, than the energy required to separate diethyl ether.

10. Shown below is the cooling curve for 1 mol of a substance

>
1. Which portion of the curve corresponds to the release of the heat of
vaporization?
1.1. 2

2. Which portion of the graph corresponds to the release of the heat of

fusion?

2.1. 4

3. Which is larger, the heat of fusion or the heat of vaporization?

3.1. Heat of vaporization is larger in this case.

11. Explain why HF has a lower boiling point than H2O even though
HF is more polar than H2O and forms stronger hydrogen bonds.

H-F is a liner molecule and forms two hydrogen bonds; however in water molecule, there are
two unshared electron pairs of oxygen and two hydrogen bonds. Therefore, Water can form four
hydrogen bonds per molecule, while H-F can only form two hydrogen bonds per molecule. As a
result, more amount of energy is required to separate a water molecule than HF molecule. Thus,
boiling point of water is higher than HF, in spite of the fact that H-F binds hydrogen more
closely than water.
