A space vehicle of internal volume 3.0 m3 is struck by a meteor and a
hole of radius 0.10 mm is formed. If the oxygen pressure within the vehicle is
initially 80 kPa and its temperature 298 K, how long will the pressure take to
fall to 70 kPa?
A 1.0 dm3 glass bulb contains 1.0 × 1023 H2 molecules. If the pressure
exerted by the gas is 100 kPa, what are (a) the temperature of the gas, (b) the
root mean square speeds of the molecules? (c) Would the temperature be
different if they were O2 molecules?
The standard enthalpy change of vaporization of water is +40.7 kJ mol-1. An electric kettle is rated at 3kW (1kW = 1 kJ s-1). How long will it take to evaporate 1.0 kg of water at 100°C? Give the answer in minutes.
Consider a solute B. Show that γB,solv=γB/γ∞B. Where γB,solv is the activity coefficent assuming B is a solvent, and γ∞B is the activity coeffient assuming infinite dilution, and the ideal-dilute limit.
Complete combustion of 4.80 g of a hydrocarbon produced 14.7 g of CO2 and 7.02 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the hydrocarbon? Insert subscripts as necessary.
An experiment was carried out at 25 °C by dissolving an unknown mass of magnesium ribbon into excess 1 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid. The volume of gas produced over a period of 6 minutes was measured using a gas syringe. The result was plotted as shown in Figure 1

(b)Bromine gas is introduced into a container with excess solid iodine. The pressure and temperature are held at 0.164 atm and 25°C, respectively. Find the partial pressure of IBr (g) at equilibrium. Assume that all the bromine is in the gas form and that the vapor pressure of iodine is negligible.
