This lab will require you to determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide in a flask. This will require you to know the volume of the flask, the temperature of the gas inside it, and the pressure of the gas. Give a one-to two sentence explanation of how each of these things will be determined.

(a) Assume for the moment that air consist of 80.00% nitrogen and 20.00% oxygen by volume. Use these figures and typical values for temperature and pressure (1.000 atm, 25.0 ºC) to calculate the density of air.

(b) This calculation affords a good approximation of the density of air at sea level. However, your lab is at an altitude approximately 777 meters (2550 feet). Knowing this, will the density of air in you lab be higher or lower than the value you just calculated? Why?

(c) Besides altitude, what else affects the atmospheric pressure? Where could you find the actual atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment?
