Chapter 5, Problem 5.50P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The unknown gas is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Ideal gas law equation is as follows:

$PV=nRT$        (1)

Here,

$P$ is the pressure of gas.

$V$ is the volume occupied by a gas.

$n$ is the no. of moles of gas.

$T$ is the  temperature in kelvin.

$R$ is the universal gas constant.

The formula to calculate no. of moles is as follows:

$n=\frac{\text{weight}\left(m\right)}{\text{molecular}\text{weight}\left(M\right)}$

The ideal gas equation can be written as follows:

$PV=\frac{mRT}{M}$        (2)

The conversion factor to convert $°\text{C}$ to Kelvin is as follows:

$T\left(\text{K}\right)=T\left(°\text{C}\right)+273.15$        (3)

Conversion factor to convert $\text{mmHg}$ to $\text{atm}$ is as follows:

$\text{760}\text{mmHg}=\text{1}\text{atm}$

Conversion factor to convert $\text{mL}$ to $\text{L}$ is as follows:

${10}^3\text{ml}=\text{1}\text{L}$
