such as coal. In the air, SO
forms SO

acid. Thus SO
is a major contributor to acid rain as well as a strong eye and lung

irritant. The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act of 1967 call for a reduction
in sulfur dioxide released from power plants to 10 million tons per year. This is
about one-half the emission measured in 1990. The US atmospheric standard for

SO
is 0.35 mg/m
, which would yield a pressure due to sulfur dioxide of 0.013

expand in order

40 °C. How many milligrams of liquid mercury must evaporate at 40 °C to yield
this pressure in a 1.39-L fluorescent bulb?

xenon gas, Xe, in flashtubes has large atoms that can quickly carry the heat away
from the filament to stop the radiation of light. At what temperature does
1.80 g Xe in a 0.625-L flashtube have a pressure of 75.0 kPa?

When 0.690 g of an unknown gas are held in an otherwise-empty 285-mL

container, the pressure is 756.8 mmHg at 19 °C. What is the molecular mass of
the gas?
70. A 1.02 g sample of an unknown gas in a 537-mL container generates a pressure

Consider two helium tanks used to fill children’s balloons. The tanks have equal
volume and are at the same temperature, but tank A is new and therefore has a
higher pressure of helium than tank B, which has been used to fill many balloons.
Which tank holds gas with a greater density, tank A or tank B? Support your
answer.
72. Two hot-air balloons have just been launched. They have equal volume and
pressure, but balloon A has a more efficient heating system, so the gas in balloon
A is at a higher temperature than the gas in balloon B. Which balloon holds
gas with a greater density, balloon A or balloon B? Support your answer. Which
balloon do you think will rise faster?
