Chapter 11, Problem 11.149QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature at which half of the given volume of water remains in liquid phase has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

According to theory of ideal gases, the gaseous molecules have almost no intermolecular force between them and occupy negligible space and volume.  They move very randomly and the collisions between them are elastic.  They agree well exactly with the gas laws. The ideal gas equation is represented as –

$\begin{array}{l}\text{ PV = nRT}\\ \text{where, P = Pressure}\\ \text{ T = Temperature}\\ \text{ V = Volume}\\ \text{ n = no}\text{.of moles}\text{.}\end{array}$
