Chapter 8, Problem 10E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The maximum allowable concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}$ in air is given. The amount of $\text{FeS}$ required to react with hydrochloric acid, at the stated pressure and temperature in room of given dimension, to produce the required concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The ideal gas equation is, $PV=n\text{R}T$ .

To determine: The amount of $\text{FeS}$ required to react with hydrochloric acid to produce the required concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{S}$ .
