Chapter 15, Problem 15.80P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The atomic mass of zinc has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Gaseous molecules have least or no intermolecular attraction between them so they are independent to move everywhere. Therefore they are referred to as ideal gas and obey ideal gas equation which is as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Here,

$P$ is pressure in atmospheric pressure.

$V$ is volume in liter.

$n$ is moles of substance.

$R$ is gas constant.

$T$ is temperature in kelvin.

But in real, gases are non-ideal means there are some amount of intermolecular forces in them which is the reason behind them being liquefied.
