Chapter 5, Problem 5.27P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of air moles present initially in the tank should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, P is pressure of the gas, volume (V) occupied by the gas, temperature (T) in Kelvin, ‘n’ moles of gas and ‘R’ = Gas constant.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The percentage error by neglecting the volume of the dry ice block should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, P is pressure of the gas, volume (V) occupied by the gas, temperature (T) in Kelvin, ‘n’ moles of gas and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The final density of the gas in the tank should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, P is pressure of the gas, volume (V) occupied by the gas, temperature (T) in Kelvin, ‘n’ moles of gas and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Explain what is happing in the tank and the variation of pressure with time.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, P is pressure of the gas, volume (V) occupied by the gas, temperature (T) in Kelvin, ‘n’ moles of gas and ‘R’ = Gas constant
