Chapter 5, Problem 5.97P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of $\text{Rn}$ at STP that is produced per day by $1\text{ g}$ of $\text{Ra}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation can be expressed as follows,

$PV=nRT$

Here, $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the temperature, $n$ is the mole of the gas and $R$ is the gas constant.

The expression to calculate the moles of a substance is as follows,

$\text{Moles of substance}=\frac{\text{Given mass of substance}}{\text{Molar mass of substance}}$

The expression to calculate the number of atoms of the substance is as follows;

$\text{Number of atoms of substance}=\left(\text{Moles of substance}\right)\left(\text{Avogadro's number}\right)$
