Chapter 5, Problem 5.40P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume which is occupied by $5.8g$ of propane gas (${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}$) at ${\text{23}}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ and $\text{1}\text{.15 atm}$ pressure should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The volume of the gas can be calculated using ideal gas law.

Mathematically, Ideal gas law states that:

$\text{PV=nRT}$

Where,

$\text{P=}$ Pressure of the gas in atmospheres ($\text{atm}$).

$\text{V=}$ Volume of the gas in liters ($\text{L}$).

$\text{n=}$ Amount of the gas in moles ($\text{mol}$).

$\mathrm{R}=$ Ideal gas constant.

$\text{T=}$ Temperature of the gas in Kelvin ($\text{K}$).
