Chapter 25, Problem 25.79QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount of chlorine needed to oxidize the given amount of bromide ion into molecular bromine has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Ideal gas equation:  The relationship between pressure, volume, temperature and gas constant of one mole of a gas is given by an ideal gas equation.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}\\ \text{P- pressure of the gas; V-volume of the gas; n-number of moles of a gas}\\ \text{R- gas constant; T-temperature of the gas}\text{.}\end{array}$

To calculate: The amount of chlorine needed to oxidize the given amount of bromide ion into molecular bromine
