Chapter 8, Problem 8.78AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The sample which contains more molecules and weighs more should be given from $\text{2}\text{L}\text{of}\text{Cl}\text{at}\text{STP}\text{or}\text{3}\text{L}\text{of}{\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}\text{at}\text{300}\text{K}\text{and}\text{1150}\text{mm}\text{Hg}$

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas Equation:

Any gas is described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V }\propto \frac{\text{nT}}{\text{P}}\\ \text{V = R}\frac{\text{nT}}{\text{P}}\\ \text{PV = nRT}\end{array}$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{n = moles}\text{of}\text{gas}\\ \text{P = pressure}\\ \text{T = temperature}\\ \text{R = gas }\text{constant}\end{array}$
