Chapter 8.4, Problem 8.9CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mixture containing same volume of $N_2$ and $O_2$ gases has whether lower, higher or same density comparing to air should be determined.

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.

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

Here,

  n = moles of gas

    P = Pressure

    T = Temperature

    R = gas constant
