Chapter 5, Problem 5.20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of moles of chlorine gas present in the sample should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas law equation is shown as:

  $\text{PV= nRT}$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Universal gas constant ( $0.0821\text{ atm}\cdot \text{L/mol}\cdot \text{K}$ )

T = Temperature

Rearrange the above formula in terms of number of moles:

  $\text{n}=\frac{\text{PV}}{\text{RT}}$
