Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction has to be balanced and the value of the gas constant has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Ideal gas is the most usually used form of the ideal gas equation, which describes the relationship among the four variables P, V, n, and T. An ideal gas is a hypothetical sample of gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior is predicted accurately by the ideal gas equation.
Abalanced equationis anequationfor achemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each constituent in the reaction and the total charge are the similar for both the reactants and the products.
