Chapter 11, Problem 11SAQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The minimum volume of chlorine gas required for complete reaction with $\text{7}\text{.85 g}$ of aluminum is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The mass of $\text{1 mol}$ of atoms for an element is known as its molar mass.

The ideal gas law states that the volume $\left(V\right)$ of given amount of gas is directly proportional to the amount of gas in moles $\left(n\right)$ and temperature of the gas $\left(T\right)$ and is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas $\left(P\right)$. This is stated as:

$V=\frac{RnT}{P}$

Here, $R$ is the ideal gas constant.

The relation between $\text{atm}$ and $\text{mm Hg}$ is:

$\text{1 atm}=760\text{ mm Hg}$
