This manual provides detailed solutions to the (a) Exercises and the odd-numbered Discus-
sion questions and Problems from the 11th edition of Atkins’ Physical Chemistry.
We have included page-specific references to equations, sections, figures and other features
of the main text. Equation references are denoted [14B.3b–595], meaning eqn 14B.3b located
on page 595 (the page number is given in italics). Other features are referred to by name,
with a page number also given.
Generally speaking, the values of physical constants (from the first page of the main text)
are used to 5 significant figures except in a few cases where higher precision is required.
In line with the practice in the main text, intermediate results are simply truncated (not
rounded) to three figures, with such truncation indicated by an ellipsis, as in 0.123...; the
value is used in subsequent calculations to its full precision.
The final results of calculations, generally to be found in a box , are given to the precision
warranted by the data provided. We have been rigorous in including units for all quantities
so that the units of the final result can be tracked carefully. The relationships given on
the back of the front cover are useful in resolving the units of more complex expressions,
especially where electrical quantities are involved.
Some of the problems either require the use of mathematical software or are much easier
with the aid of such a tool. In such cases we have used Mathematica (Wolfram Research,
Inc.) in preparing these solutions, but there are no doubt other options available. Some of
the Discussion questions relate directly to specific section of the main text in which case we
have simply given a reference rather than repeating the material from the text.

Solutions to exercises
E1A.1(a) From the inside the front cover the conversion between pressure units is: 1 atm
≡ 101.325 kPa ≡ 760 Torr; 1 bar is 105 Pa exactly.
(i) A pressure of 108 kPa is converted to Torr as follows
1 atm 760 Torr
108 kPa × × = 810 Torr
101.325 kPa 1 atm
(ii) A pressure of 0.975 bar is 0.975 × 105 Pa, which is converted to atm as
follows
1 atm
0.975 × 105 Pa × = 0.962 atm
101.325 kPa
E1A.2(a) The perfect gas law [1A.4–8], pV = nRT, is rearranged to give the pressure,
p = nRT/V . The amount n is found by dividing the mass by the molar mass of
Xe, 131.29 g mol−1 .
n
So no , the sample would not exert a pressure of 20 atm, but 24.4 atm if it were
a perfect gas.
p f Vf = p i Vi hence p i = p f Vf /Vi
The initial volume is 2.20 dm3 greater than the final volume so Vi = 4.65+2.20 =
6.85 dm3 .
Vf 4.65 dm3
pi = × pf = × (5.04 bar) = 3.42 bar
Vi 6.85 dm3
E1A.4(a) If the gas is assumed to be perfect, the equation of state is [1A.4–8], pV = nRT.
In this case the volume and amount (in moles) of the gas are constant, so it
follows that the pressure is proportional to the temperature: p ∝ T. The ratio
of the final and initial pressures is therefore equal to the ratio of the temper-
atures: p f /p i = Tf /Ti . The pressure indicated on the gauge is that in excess
of atmospheric pressure, thus the initial pressure is 24 + 14.7 = 38.7 lb in−2 .
Solving for the final pressure p f (remember to use absolute temperatures) gives
Tf
pf = × pi
Ti
(35 + 273.15) K
= × (38.7 lb in−2 ) = 44.4... lb in−2
(−5 + 273.15) K
The pressure indicated on the gauge is this final pressure, minus atmospheric
pressure: 44.4... − 14.7 = 30 lb in−2 . This assumes that (i) the gas is behaving
perfectly and (ii) that the tyre is rigid.
E1A.5(a) The perfect gas law pV = nRT is rearranged to give the pressure
nRT
p=

where 1 dm3 = 10−3 m3 has been used along with 1 J = 1 kg m2 s−2 and 1 Pa =
1 kg m−1 s−2 .
E1A.6(a) The vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, so the gas law pV = nRT applies. The
task is to use this expression to relate the measured mass density to the molar
mass.
First, the amount n is expressed as the mass m divided by the molar mass M to
give pV = (m/M)RT; division of both sides by V gives p = (m/V )(RT/M).
The quantity (m/V ) is the mass density ρ, so p = ρRT/M, which rearranges
to M = ρRT/p; this is the required relationship between M and the density.
where 1 J = 1 kg m2 s−2 and 1 Pa = 1 kg m−1 s−2 have been used. The molar mass
of S is 32.06 g mol−1 , so the number of S atoms in the molecules comprising
the vapour is (0.255... × 103 g mol−1 )/(32.06 g mol−1 ) = 7.98. The result is
expected to be an integer, so the formula is likely to be S8 .
E1A.7(a) The vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, so the gas law pV = nRT applies; the
task is to use this expression to relate the measured data to the mass m. This
is done by expressing the amount n as m/M, where M is the the molar mass.
With this substitution it follows that m = MPV /RT.

E1A.8(a) Consider 1 m3 of air: the mass of gas is therefore 1.146 kg. If perfect gas be-
haviour is assumed, the amount in moles is given by n = pV /RT
m = n O2 × M O2 + n N2 × M N2
These two equations are solved simultaneously for n O2 to give the follow-
ing expression, which is then evaluated using the data given
m − M N2 n
n O2 =
M O2 − M N2

The mole fractions are therefore
n O2 9.50... mol
x O2 = = = 0.240 x N2 = 1 − x O2 = 0.760
n 39.5... mol
The partial pressures are given by p i = x i p tot
n = n O2 + n N2 + n Ar m = n O2 M O2 + n N2 M N2 + n Ar M Ar
n O2 = n − n Ar − n N2
= (39.5... mol) − 0.01 × (39.5... mol) − (30.8... mol) = 8.31... mol
Note: the final values are quite sensitive to the precision with which the inter-
mediate results are carried forward.
E1A.9(a) The vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, so the gas law pV = nRT applies. The
task is to use this expression to relate the measured mass density to the molar
mass.
First, the amount n is expressed as the mass m divided by the molar mass M to
give pV = (m/M)RT; division of both sides by V gives p = (m/V )(RT/M).
The quantity (m/V ) is the mass density ρ, so p = ρRT/M, which rearranges
to M = ρRT/p; this is the required relationship between M and the density.

Solutions to problems
P1A.1 (a) The expression ρgh gives the pressure in Pa if all the quantities are in
SI units, so it is helpful to work in Pa throughout. From the front cover,
760 Torr is exactly 1 atm, which is 1.01325×105 Pa. The density of 13.55 g cm−3
is equivalent to 13.55 × 103 kg m−3 .
p = p ex + ρgh

× (10.0 × 10−2 m) = 1.15 × 105 Pa

(b) The calculation of the pressure inside the apparatus proceeds as in (a)
P1A.3 The perfect gas law pV = nRT implies that pVm = RT, where Vm is the molar
volume (the volume when n = 1). It follows that p = RT/Vm , so a plot of p
against T/Vm should be a straight line with slope R.
However, real gases only become ideal in the limit of zero pressure, so what is
needed is a method of extrapolating the data to zero pressure. One approach is
to rearrange the perfect gas law into the form pVm /T = R and then to realise
that this implies that for a real gas the quantity pVm /T will tend to R in the limit
of zero pressure. Therefore, the intercept at p = 0 of a plot of pVm /T against p
is an estimate of R. For the extrapolation of the line back to p = 0 to be reliable,
the data points must fall on a reasonable straight line. The plot is shown in
Fig 1.2.
0.08206
0.08204
0.08202
0.08200
The estimate for R is therefore the intercept, 0.082062 atm dm3 mol−1 K−1 .
The data are given to 6 figures, but they do not fall on a very good straight line
so the value for R has been quoted to one fewer significant figure.
P1A.5 For a perfect gas pV = nRT which can be rearranged to give p = nRT/V . The
amount in moles is n = m/M, where M is the molar mass and m is the mass of
the gas. Therefore p = (m/M)(RT/V ). The quantity m/V is the mass density
ρ, and hence
p = ρRT/M
It follows that for a perfect gas p/ρ should be a constant at a given temperature.
Real gases are expected to approach this as the pressure goes to zero, so a
suitable plot is of p/ρ against p; the intercept when p = 0 gives the best estimate
of RT/M. The plot is shown in Fig. 1.3.

P1A.7 (a) For a perfect gas pV = nRT so it follows that for a sample at constant
volume and temperature, p 1 /T1 = p 2 /T2 . If the pressure increases by
∆p for an increase in temperature of ∆T, then with p 2 = p 1 + ∆p and
T2 = T1 + ∆T is follows that
p 1 p 1 + ∆p p 1 ∆T
= hence ∆p =
T1 T1 + ∆T T1
For an increase by 1.00 K, ∆T = 1.00 K and hence
∆p p 1 6.69 × 103 Pa

P1A.9 The molar mass of SO2 is 32.06+2×16.00 = 64.06 g mol−1 . If the gas is assumed
to be perfect the volume is calculated from pV = nRT
n
Note the conversion of the mass in t to mass in g; repeating the calculation for
300 t gives a volume of 4.1 × 105 m3 .
The volume of gas is therefore between 0.27 km3 and 0.41 km3 .
10 1 THE PROPERTIES OF GASES
P1A.11 Imagine a column of the atmosphere with cross sectional area A. The pressure
at any height is equal to the force acting down on that area; this force arises
from the gravitational attraction on the gas in the column above this height –
that is, the ‘weight’ of the gas.
Suppose that the height h is increased by dh. The force on the area A is reduced
because less of the atmosphere is now bearing down on this area. Specifically,
the force is reduced by that due to the gravitational attraction on the gas con-
tained in a cylinder of cross-sectional area A and height dh. If the density of
the gas is ρ, the mass of the gas in the cylinder is ρ × A dh and the force due to
gravity on this mass is ρgA dh, where g is the acceleration due to free fall. The
change in pressure dp on increasing the height by dh is this force divided by
the area, so it follows that
dp = −ρgdh
The minus sign is needed because the pressure decreases as the height increases.
The density is related to the pressure by starting from the perfect gas equation,
pV = nRT. If the mass of gas is m and the molar mass is M, it follows that
n = m/M and hence pV = (m/M)RT. Taking the volume to the right gives
p = (m/MV )RT. The quantity m/V is the mass density ρ, so p = (ρ/M)RT;
this is rearranged to give an expression for the density: ρ = M p/RT.
This expression for ρ is substituted into dp = −ρgdh to give dp = −(M p/RT)gdh.
Division by p results in separation of the variables (1/p) dp = −(M/RT)gdh.
The left-hand side is integrated between p0 , the pressure at h = 0 and p, the
pressure at h. The right-hand side is integrated between h = 0 and h
