Chapter 5, Problem 5.38P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The moles of sulfur dioxide in the bottle is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation can be expressed as follows:

  $PV=nRT$        (1)

Here, $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the temperature, $n$ is the mole of the gas and $R$ is the gas constant.

The conversion factor to convert pressure from $\text{psi}$ to $\text{atm}$ is as follows:

  $\text{14}\text{.7 psi}=1\text{ atm}$

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

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