Chapter 11, Problem 11.91QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of Zinc metal in grams consumed in the given reaction has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas is the most usually used form of the ideal gas equation, which describes the relationship among the four variables P, V, n, and T.  An ideal gas is a hypothetical sample of gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior is predicted accurately by the ideal gas equation.

$\text{PV = nRT}$

• The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure.
• Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases:

${\text{P}}_{\text{Total}}\text{}{\text{=P}}_{\text{gas 1}}\text{}{\text{+P}}_{\text{gas 2}}\text{}{\text{+P}}_{\text{gas 3}}\text{}\mathrm{....}$
