Chapter 10, Problem 10.149MP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Number of moles of hot gas released by the explosion of $0.00400\text{ mol}$ of nitroglycerine should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

$PV=nRT$

Here,

$\begin{array}{l}P=\text{ Pressure}\\ \text{V = volume}\\ \text{n = number of moles}\\ \text{R = universal gas constant}\\ \text{T = Absolute temperature}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Number of moles of A present and its likely identity should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

$PV=nRT$

Here,

$\begin{array}{l}P=\text{ Pressure}\\ \text{V = volume}\\ \text{n = number of moles}\\ \text{R = universal gas constant}\\ \text{T = Absolute temperature}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Number of moles of B present and its identity should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

$PV=nRT$

Here,

$\begin{array}{l}P=\text{ Pressure}\\ \text{V = volume}\\ \text{n = number of moles}\\ \text{R = universal gas constant}\\ \text{T = Absolute temperature}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Number of moles of C and D present and their identities should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

$PV=nRT$

Here,

$\begin{array}{l}P=\text{ Pressure}\\ \text{V = volume}\\ \text{n = number of moles}\\ \text{R = universal gas constant}\\ \text{T = Absolute temperature}\end{array}$

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

A balanced equation for the explosion of nitroglycerine should be written.

Concept introduction:

A balanced equation is a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms of each element and the charge are same for both reactants and products.
