Chapter 5, Problem 5.47P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The number of moles of gas which are collected from a coal burning plant collects a mixture of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}{\text{-SO}}_{\text{2}}{\text{-H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ in 21 L of steel tank at 850 torr and 45°C needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The ideal gas equation can be used to calculate P, V, T and number of moles of gases. It is basically the combination of different gas laws such as Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, Gay-Lussac law and Avogadro law. The ideal gas equation can be written as:

  $\text{P}\times \text{V = n}\times \text{R}\times \text{T}$

Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature of the gas.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The partial pressure of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ gas if the concentration of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ in mixture is 7.95 x 10³pppmv needs to be determined.
