Chapter 5, Problem 107E

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Partial pressure of $\text{CO}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:Ideal gas law is used to represent hypothetical gas to relate its volume, pressure, and temperature. Expression for ideal gas equation is as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Where,

• $P$ is pressure of the gas.
• $V$ is volume of gas.
• $n$ denotes moles of gas.
• $R$ is gas constant.
• $T$ is temperature of gas.

Concentration of trace compounds in air is expressed in terms of $\text{ppbv}$ . It is parts per billion volume. Its expression is as follows:

  $\text{ppbv of }X=\left(\frac{\text{Volume of X at STP}}{\text{Total vol of air at STP}}\right)\left({10}^9\right)$

Where,

• $X$ is trace compound.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Concentration of $\text{CO}$ in ${\text{molecules/m}}^3$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:Ideal gas law is used to represent hypothetical gas to relate its volume, pressure, and temperature. Expression for ideal gas equation is as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Where,

  $P$ is pressure of the gas.

  $V$ is volume of gas.

  $n$ denotes moles of gas.

  $R$ is gas constant.

  $T$ is temperature of gas.

c)

Where,

  $P$ is pressure of the gas.

  $V$ is volume of gas.

  $n$ denotes moles of gas.

  $R$ is gas constant.

  $T$ is temperature of gas.
