Chapter 10.10, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure after the completion of the reaction is to be compared to the pressure before the reaction.

Concept Introduction:

The standard form of ideal gas equation is as:

$PV=nRT$

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 ofreactant gas which are spent in the reaction is calculated as

$\Delta n=\Delta P\times \frac{V}{RT}$

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