Chapter 5, Problem 5.34P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of moles of chlorine gas confined in a $5.0\text{ L}$ container at $328\text{ torr}$ and $37°\text{C}$ in the sample is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Ideal gas law equation is as follows:

$PV=nRT$ (1)

Here,

$P$ is the pressure of the gas.

$V$ is the volume occupied by gas.

$n$ is the no. of moles of gas.

$T$ is the temperature in Kelvin.

$R$ is the universal gas constant.

Conversion factor to convert $\text{torr}$ to $\text{atm}$ is as follows:

$\text{760}\text{torr}=\text{1}\text{atm}$

The conversion factor to convert $°\text{C}$ to Kelvin is as follows:

$T\left(\text{Kelvin}\right)=T\left(\text{°C}\right)+273.15$ (2)
