Chapter 5, Problem 5.9P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The volume of the system contained in a vessel at ${100}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ and $10\text{ atm}.$ should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Ideal gas law can be used to determine the amount of nitrogen and then multiply it by the molar mass of nitrogen to find the mass of nitrogen in the tank.

$PV=nRT$

Where,

$P$ - Pressure

$V$ - Volume

$T$ - Temperature

$n$ - Number of moles of gas

$R$ - Ideal gas constant

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Percentage error results from assuming ideal gas behaviour should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Error percentage is the difference between Actual volume and the volume that we calculated given as a percentage of actual volume.

$\text{Error Percentage}= \frac{\left(\text{Actual Volume – Calculated Volume}\right)}{\text{Actual Volume}}\times 100\%$
