Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether volume of carbon dioxide produced by combustion reaction $1.00\text{ L}$ ethane or $1.20\text{ g}$ ethane is greater has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas law can be represented as equation for state for any imaginary gas. Expression for ideal gas equation is as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Here,

$P$ is pressure of the gas.

$V$ is volume of gas.

$n$ denotes moles of a gas.

$R$ is gas constant.

$T$ is temperature of gas.
