Chapter 10, Problem 10.71SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of $\mathrm{HgO}$ required to be heated to produce $\text{0}{\text{.0155 mol O}}_2$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Any gas obeys the assumption laid down in kinetic molecular theory is said to be an ideal gas. The combination of all the gas laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles law and Avogadro’s leads to the ideal gas equation that can be used to relate all the four properties such as given below:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $V$ denotes the volume.
• $n$ denotes the temperature.
• $P$ denotes the pressure.
