Chapter 18, Problem 18.118MP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The formula of the metal hydride and alkaline earth metal should be identified from the given data.

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,

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