Concept introduction:
In 1811 the Italian chemist Avogadro introduced a gaseous law with interpreting the relationship between the number of moles and the volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure. That is the volume of gas towards the amount of substance present. This law is known as
Avogadro’s law can be defined as,
A gas kept in the particular container at constant pressure and temperature. If the amount (number of moles) of gas in the container is increased, the number of moles in the unit area of container is increased and the volume of container is increased. That is the volume of container is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. As increasing the amount of substance of gas or the number of moles of gas, the volume of gas will expand. This direct relationship between the number of moles of gas and volume of gas is termed as Avogadro’s law.
Mathematically this law can be written as,
By rearranging,
Where n is the number of moles of gas and a is proportionality constant.
By comparing two systems at different conditions,

If a sample of ammonia occupying 250 mL at 21 C and a pressure of 140 torr is allowed to react with excess HCl, what mass of NH4Cl will form?arrow_forwardIf equal masses of O2 and N2 are placed in separate containers of equal volume at the same temperature, which of the following statements is true? If false, explain why it is false. (a) The pressure in the flask containing N2 is greater than that in the flask containing O2. (b) There are more molecules in the flask containing O2 than in the flask containing N2.arrow_forward
- A 39.6-mL sample of gas is trapped in a syringe and heated from 27 C to 127 C. What is the new volume (in mL) in the syringe if the pressure is constant?arrow_forwardA chemist weighed out 5.14 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and CaO(s) and placed the sample in a 1.50-L flask containing CO2(g) at 30.0C and 750. torr. After the reaction to form BaCO3(s) and CaCO3(s) was completed, the pressure of CO2(g) remaining was 230. torr. Calculate the mass percentages of CaO(s) and BaO(s) in the mixture.arrow_forward2. The volume of a gas sample is 235 mL at a temperature of 25 ℃.
