Chapter 8.5, Problem 8.8PSP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The minimum mass of ${\text{KNO}}_3$ needed to react and additional volume of ${\text{N}}_2$ generated has to be calculated.

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.

  $\text{PV = nRT}$

Here,

  n is the moles of gas

    P is the Pressure

  V is the Volume

    T is the Temperature

    R is the gas constant
