Chapter 8.10, Problem 8.17P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of moles and amount of helium in grams should be determined if the tank has a volume of $\text{180}\text{L}$ and a pressure of $\text{150}\text{atm}$ should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas Equation:

Any gas is described by using four terms namely pressure, volume, temperature and the amount of gas. Thus combining three laws namely Boyle’s, Charles’s Law and Avogadro’s Hypothesis the following equation could be obtained. It is referred as ideal gas equation.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V }\propto \frac{\text{nT}}{\text{P}}\\ \text{V = R}\frac{\text{nT}}{\text{P}}\\ \text{PV = nRT}\\ \text{where,}\\ \text{n = moles}\text{of}\text{gas}\\ \text{P = pressure}\\ \text{T = temperature}\\ \text{R = gas }\text{constant}\end{array}$
