Chapter 3, Problem 3B.18E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Volume measured at $25\text{°C}$ and $0.964\text{atm}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

An ideal gas contains a large number of randomly moving particles that are supposed to have perfectly elastic collisions among themselves. It is a theoretical concept. Gases that show perfect elastic collision are practically not possible. At higher $T$ and lower $P$ gases behave almost ideally.

Ideal gas law is an equation of state for any hypothetical gas. Expression for ideal gas equation is as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Here,

$P$ is pressure of gas.

$V$ is volume of gas.

$n$ denotes moles of gas.

$R$ is gas constant.

$T$ is temperature of gas.
