Chapter 5, Problem 5.41P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

One of the reasons that phosgene can be used as an effective weapon during the war should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is mathematically represented as follows:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

Here, m is mass and V is volume.

In addition, the relative density is defined as the density of a substance with respect to density of air.

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

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

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of moles in the test tube should be estimated.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The concentration of phosgene for the given case should be calculated and explained.
