Chapter 10, Problem 66RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of $\text{1}.\text{67g of nitrogen},{\text{ N}}_{\text{2}},$ in liters, at a given temperature and pressure is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The effect of temperature and pressure on the volume of a gas is given by the ideal gas equation. It is expressed as follows:

$PV=n\text{R}T$

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

The conversion factor for converting torr into atm is given as follows:

$\frac{1\text{atm}}{1760\text{torr}}$

Conversion of temperature from Celsius to Kelvin is given by the expression:

$T\left(\text{K}\right)=T\left({}^{\circ }\text{C}\right)+273$
