Chapter 7, Problem 7.72EP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given sublimation process of naphthalene, the volume of the container in liters has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas law provides the relationship between the four gas variables temperature, pressure, volume, and molar amount of a gaseous substance at specified set of conditions.  The mathematical expression for ideal gas law can be shown below,

$\begin{array}{l}PV=nRT\\ \text{Where,}\\ P=\text{Pressure}\text{}\text{of}\text{gas}\\ V=\text{Volume}\text{}\text{of}\text{gas}\\ T=\text{Temperature}\text{of}\text{gas}\\ n=\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}\text{of}\text{gas}\\ R=\text{Ideal}\text{gas}\text{constant}\\ \end{array}$
