Chapter 5, Problem 5.48P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The volume of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ in mL at 725 torr and 32°Cproduced due to burning of 0.800 g of tetraphosphorustrisulfide 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 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.
