II. Show and ORGANIZE your solution on your answer sheet.

1. A large mining company was provided with a 3,000,000 cm3 of compressed air tank. Air pressure in the tank drops from 700 KPa to 180
KPa while the temperature remains unchanged at 28 deg C. What percentage has the mass of air in the tank been reduced? ( Use Rgas =
0.287 KPa-m3/Kg-K)
2. An 8.07 g sample of impure Ag2O decomposes into solid silver and O2 gas. If 395 mL O2 is collected over water at 25 deg C and 749.2 mmHg
barometric pressure, then what is the percent by mass of Ag2O in the sample? The vapor pressure of water at 25 deg C is 23.8 mmHg. What
is the volume of gas collected?

(polypropylene). A glass vessel weighs 40.1305 g when clean, dry and evacuated; it weighs 138.2410 g when filled with water at 25 deg
C(density of water = 0.9970 g/mL) and 40.2959 g when filled with propylene gas at 740.3 mmHg and 24 deg C. What is the molar mass of
propylene?
