Chapter 10, Problem 10.44SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The atmospheric pressure in $\text{mm Hg}$ when the atmosphere is composed of pure ${\text{CO}}_2$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The expression to determine pressure as per ideal gas equation is given as follows:

$P=\frac{mRT}{MV}$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $M$ denotes molar mass.
• $m$ represents mass.
• $V$ denotes the volume.
• $T$ denotes temperature.
• $P$ denotes the pressure.
