Concept explainers
A concentration of 8.00 × 102 ppm by volume of CO is considered lethal to humans. Calculate the minimum mass of CO in grams that would become a lethal concentration in a closed room 17.6 m long, 8.80 m wide, and 2.64 m high. The temperature and pressure are 20.0°C and 756 mmHg, respectively.
Interpretation:
The minimum mass of carbon monoxide would become poisonous to humans in a closed room has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Partial pressure:
The product of total pressure of gases and number of mole of individual gas is the partial pressure of a gas.
Mole fraction:
Mole fraction is the ratio number of moles of a species to that of total number of moles of solution.
Ideal gas equation:
The ideal gas equation is given as
Where,
P is the pressure
V is the volume
n is number of moles
R is the gas constant
T is the temperature
The volume of the closed room is calculated as,
