Chapter 5, Problem 5.65P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The negative or positive deviation from the $\text{PV}/\text{RT}$ ratio of an ideal gas due to particle volume and the increasing order of deviation in ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}},{\text{ Cl}}_{\text{2 }}{\text{and H}}_{\text{2}}$ gas needs to be explained.

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.
