Chapter 24, Problem 50QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The discrepancy in vapor density of ammonium chloride is to be discussed.

Concept introduction:

The density of vapor, which relates to hydrogen, is known as vapor density. It is equal to the molar mass of gas or vapor, divided by the molecular mass of hydrogen, or air.

It is calculated by the expression as follows:

$\text{Vapor density}=\frac{\text{Molar mass of a gas}}{{\text{Molar mass of H}}_2}$
