1) You come across a manometer with an unknown liquid inside. To find the density of the liquid, you
first fill a glass bulb with air on a day when the pressure is 77.77 cm Hg and attach this bulb to one
side of the manometer. The other side of the manometer remains open to the atmosphere. Two days
later, the temperature is the same but the atmospheric pressure has dropped to 75.44 cm Hg. The
liquid in the manometer equilibrates to a height difference of 25.1 cm.
Hg density = 13.53 g/cm3
a) What is the density of the liquid?
g = 9.8 m/s2

b) The planet Mars has a much thinner atmosphere than Earth and the force of gravity on Mars is only
38% of that on earth. This invalidates the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mm Hg. Assuming
that the density of mercury is independent of temperature, what would the conversion of atm to
mm of Hg be on Mars?

1 atm = __________ mm Hg

2) SO2 is bent; CS2 is linear; Electronegativities H: 2.1, S: 2.5, O 3.5

a) Circle the gas with the largest van der Waals “a”: H 2S O2 SO2 CS2

b) Circle the gas with the largest van der Waals “b”: H 2S O2 SO2 CS2

c) Circle the gas with the largest Z value at 600 atm: H 2S O2 H 2O SO2

d) Circle the gas with the largest Z value at 10 atm: H 2S O2 H 2O SO2 12

3) 0.40 moles of O2 and 0.20 moles of H2S are added to a constant pressure vessel at 295 K

a) How many times faster (on average) than the H2S molecules are the O2 molecules moving?
(Include at least 3 significant figures.)

2
O2 is moving ______times faster than H2S

b) What is the initial volume of the vessel if its density is 1.35 g/L?

6
V = L

c) Which reactant is the limiting reagent if the following reaction takes place: 2

2 H2S(g) + 3 O2(g) —> 2 H2O(g) + 2 SO2(g).

(Circle one): oxygen H 2S neither

d) If the reaction is carried out isothermally, what is the PSO2 after the reaction?

6
PSO2 atm

e) Would the reactants (H2S and O2) or the products (H2O and SO2) be easier to separate by effusion?

Circle one: reactants products

f) Briefly explain your answer to e:

4) A rigid insulated container that does not allow heat to enter or exit holds 6.544 g of oxygen at 298 K.
6.12 g of H2S at 278 K are added to the container and the gases mix
(Fill in each box with <, >, =, or X (for cannot be determined.))

a) temperature of the oxygen before H2S is added temperature of the gas mixture

b) Poxygen before H2S is added Poxygen after H2S is added

c) work associated with the addition of H2S 0J

d) molar heat capacity oxygen molar heat capacity of the gas mixture

e) U (internal energy) before H2S is added U after H2S is added

For parts f-i, there are 2.0 moles of oxygen gas in an insulated (no heat in or out) container with a
moveable, frictionless piston at 298K under a constant external pressure.
2 moles of H2S(g) at 298 K are added.

(Fill in each box with <, >, =, or X (for cannot be determined.))
