Concept explainers
The Ideal Gas Law A mole of a chemical is a fixed number, like a dozen, of molecules (or atoms in the case of an element) of that compound. A mole of water, for example, is about 18 grams, or just over half an ounce in your kitchen. Chemists often use the mole as the measure of the amount of a chemical compound.
A mole of carbon dioxide has a fixed mass, but the volume
a. Solve the ideal gas law for the volume
b. What is the volume of 1 mole of carbon dioxide under 3 atm of pressure at a temperature of 300 kelvins?
c. Solve the ideal gas law for pressure.
d. What is the pressure on 1 mole of carbon dioxide if it occupies a volume of 0.4 liter at a temperature of 350 kelvins?
e. Solve the ideal gas law for temperature.
f. At what temperature will 1 mole of carbon dioxide occupy a volume of 2 liters under a pressure of 0.3 atm?
