Chapter 10, Problem 10.143MP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The pressure inside the container is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The formula to calculate number of moles as per ideal gas equation is as follows:

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $V$ denotes the volume.
• $n$ denotes number of moles.
• $T$ denotes temperature.
• $P$ denotes pressure.

The conversion factor to convert $\text{atm}$ to $\text{mm Hg}$ is as follows:

$1\text{ atm}=\text{760 mm Hg}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The pressure from Vander Waal’sequation is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The formula to calculate number of moles as per ideal gas equation is as follows:

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

Where,

• $R$ is gas constant.
• $V$ denotes the volume.
• $n$ denotes number of moles.
• $T$ denotes temperature.
• $P$ denotes pressure.

The conversion factor to convert $\text{atm}$ to $\text{mm Hg}$ is as follows:

$1\text{ atm}=\text{760 mm Hg}$
