GAS Concentration in a chamber?

In summary, if you leave a gas mixture containing 10% ammonia and 90% CO2 with a constant flow rate towards a chamber, the concentration of the gas in the chamber will gradually become 10% ammonia and 90% CO2.

How can we find the gas concentration in a chamber without using a sensor i mean by calculation
suppose a mixture of gas ammonia 10% and CO2 90% flow to the gas chamber how we can find that concentration of gas in the chamber?

10% and 90%?

Can you explain the setup in more detail? I don't understand what the question is. If you flush your chamber with a known gas mixture long enough then you probably have this gas mixture inside, unless you get some chemical reactions or something else changing it.

I'm trying to read your mind, because you obviously didn't explain what is happening very well. So, here is my guess. You have a chamber being fed with a gas stream containing 10% ammonia and 90% CO2. The rate of flow into the chamber is equal to the rate of flow out of the chamber. The initial concentration of the gas inside the chamber is different from 10%/90%. What is the concentration of the gases in the chamber as a function of time? Is this what you are asking?

we want to calculate the gas concentration in the closed chamber and chamber is evacuated by rottery pump
and pressure in the chamber (Volume=1023cm3 )is 10-3 torr. now we leave a gas mixture having ammonia NH3 10%
and O2 90% with a constant flow rate towards the chamber... now after a several time how can we find out the gas concentration(e.g ammonia) in the chamber?

Wait, CO2 (first post) or O2 (second post)?

With O2, it can react, then the concentration will depend on various details of the setup.

Find the reaction rates (if they are relevant) and the rate of gas inflow, simulate the process in small time steps. Think about the temperature as it will be relevant for the reaction rate.

If no reaction happens, then the amount of gas inside is simply the amount of gas you let in, with the same 90%/10% distribution.
 

Related to GAS Concentration in a chamber?

1. What is the ideal gas concentration in a chamber?

The ideal gas concentration in a chamber depends on the specific gases being studied and the purpose of the experiment. However, in general, a concentration between 1-10% volume is often used for most gas studies.

2. How is gas concentration measured in a chamber?

Gas concentration in a chamber can be measured using various methods such as gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, or infrared gas analyzers. The specific method used will depend on the type of gas being measured.

3. How does temperature affect gas concentration in a chamber?

Temperature can have a significant effect on gas concentration in a chamber. As temperature increases, gas molecules tend to move faster and take up more space, resulting in a decrease in concentration. On the other hand, as temperature decreases, gas molecules move slower and take up less space, resulting in an increase in concentration.

4. How does pressure affect gas concentration in a chamber?

Pressure also plays a role in gas concentration in a chamber. As pressure increases, gas molecules are compressed, resulting in an increase in concentration. Conversely, as pressure decreases, gas molecules have more space to spread out, resulting in a decrease in concentration.

5. What factors can affect gas concentration in a chamber?

Aside from temperature and pressure, other factors that can affect gas concentration in a chamber include the type of gas being studied, the size of the chamber, and any chemical reactions or interactions taking place within the chamber.
