Chapter 10, Problem 100AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation for the heating of ammonium nitrite $\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{4}}{\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ to form ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ gas is to be balanced and the quantity of ammonium nitrite used for this reactionis to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Van der Waal’s equation for ideal gases is as follows:

$PV=nRT$

Here, $P$ is the pressure of ideal gas, $V$ is the volume of ideal gas, $n$ is the number of molecules, $R$ is gas constant, and $T$ is the absolute temperature.
