The ratio in the densities of oxygen and nitrogen is 16 : 14. At what ...
Kelvin) will the density of oxygen be twice the density of nitrogen?
To solve this problem, we need to use the ideal gas law which states that the density of a gas is proportional to its molecular weight and inversely proportional to its temperature.
Let's assume that the molecular weight of oxygen is x and the molecular weight of nitrogen is y.
According to the problem, the ratio of the densities of oxygen and nitrogen is 16:14.
Therefore, we can write the equation:
16/14 = x/y
Simplifying this equation, we get:
8/7 = x/y
Now, let's assume that the temperature is T Kelvin for oxygen and T Kelvin for nitrogen.
According to the ideal gas law, the density of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature.
Therefore, we can write the equation:
Density of oxygen / Density of nitrogen = Temperature of nitrogen / Temperature of oxygen
Since we want the density of oxygen to be twice the density of nitrogen, we can write the equation:
2 = T/T
Simplifying this equation, we get:
2 = 1
This equation is not possible because it is not mathematically correct.
Therefore, there is no temperature at which the density of oxygen will be twice the density of nitrogen.
