Chapter 6, Problem 6.164AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: $11.4\text{L}$ of an ideal gas at $25°\text{C}$ and $735\text{torr}$ is given to be compressed and heated so that the volume is $7.9\text{L}$ and the temperature is $72°\text{C}$. The pressure in the container is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The ideal gas law states that “the volume $\left(V\right)$ occupied by numbers of moles $\left(n\right)$ of any gas has a pressure $\left(P\right)$ at temperature $\left(T\right)$ in Kelvin”.

To determine: The pressure in the container holding the ideal gas.
