Chapter 10.7, Problem 2CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pressure exerted on the vessel by carbon dioxide is to be calculated with given moles, volume, and temperature.

Concept Introduction:

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

$PV=nRT$

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 deviation of a real gas from the ideal gas can be calculated with the help of the van der walls equation:

$\left(P+\frac{a{n}^2}{V^2}\right)\left(V-nb\right)=nRT$

Here, a and b represent the van der wall constant, which has different values for different gases, $n$ is the number of moles, $R$ is the gas constant, $T$ is the temperature, $V$ is the volume, and $P$ is the pressure.

The formula for the conversion of temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin is represented as

$T\left(\text{K}\right)=T\left(°\text{C}\right)+273.15$
