Chapter U3.54, Problem 1TAI

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method to predict the volume of a gas sample must be explained.

Concept introduction:

Gas doesn’t have definite volume. It occupies the volume of vessel in which it is kept.

Answer to Problem 1TAI

The gas volume can be predicted with the help of gas Laws when pressure, temperature and mole of the gas are given.

Explanation of Solution

Ideal gas equation can be written as

  $PV=nRT$

Here, P, V, n, R and T are pressure, volume, mole number, universal gas constant and absolute temperature respectively.

If other parameters are given then volume of the gas sample can be predicted using the universal gas equation.

Here, value of R that is Universal gas constant is 0.082 atm L/K mol.

Conclusion

Volume of a gas sample can be predicted using ideal gas equation.
