Chapter 3, Problem 3B.4AST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Pressure exerted by $1\text{g}$ of carbon dioxide in the flask of volume $1\text{L}$ at $300°\text{C}$ 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 just a theoretical concept, and practically no such gas exists. 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 the pressure of the gas.

$V$ is the volume of gas.

$n$ denotes the number of moles of gas.

$R$ is the gas constant.

$T$ is the temperature of gas.
