Chapter 10, Problem 56QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of ${\text{SO}}_2$ gas at the given temperature and pressure, when the given amount of $\text{S}$ reacts with oxygen, is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation elaborates the physical properties of gases by relating the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles linked with each other with the help of four gas laws. This can be shown as

$P=\frac{nRT}{V}$

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

The number of moles can be calculated as

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, $n$ is the number of moles, m represents the mass of the molecule, and M represents the molar mass of the molecule.
