Chapter 14, Problem 34E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of chlorine gas required to react with $41.5\text{g}$ of phosphorus is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas law is the compilation of Charles’s Law $\left(\text{V}\propto \text{T}\right)$, Boyle’s Law $\left(\text{V}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{P}}\right)$ and Avogadro’s Law $\left(\text{V}\propto \text{n}\right)$.

The ideal gas equation is shown below.

$\text{PV}=\text{nRT}$

Where,

• $\text{P}$ is the pressure.

• $\text{V}$ is the volume.

• $\text{n}$ is the number of moles.

• $\text{R}$ is the gas constant.

• $\text{T}$ is the temperature.
