Chapter 10, Problem 10.54SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Pressure of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ in $\text{mm Hg}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The formula to calculate pressure as per ideal gas equation is as follows:

$P=\frac{m}{M}\left(\frac{RT}{V}\right)$

Where,

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

The conversion factor for conversion of $\text{atm}$ to $\text{mm Hg}$ is as follows:

$1\text{ atm}=\text{760 mm Hg}$
