Capitolo 10, Problema 43b

Chlorine is widely used to purify municipal water supplies and to treat swimming pool waters. Suppose that the volume of a particular sample of Cl2 gas is 8.70 L at 895 torr and 24°C. b. What volume will the Cl2 occupy at STP?

Step 1: Identify the given values and what you need to find. In this case, the initial volume (V1) is 8.70 L, the initial pressure (P1) is 895 torr, and the initial temperature (T1) is 24°C. You need to find the final volume (V2) at standard temperature and pressure (STP), which is 0°C and 1 atm (or 760 torr).
Step 2: Convert all the given values to the appropriate units. The temperature should be in Kelvin (K), so convert 24°C to Kelvin by adding 273.15. The pressure should be in the same units, so keep it in torr.
Step 3: Use the combined gas law, which is (P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2. Since we are looking for V2, we can rearrange the equation to V2 = (P1*V1*T2) / (P2*T1).
Step 4: Substitute the given values into the equation. P1 is 895 torr, V1 is 8.70 L, T1 is the temperature in Kelvin from step 2, P2 is 760 torr (the standard pressure), and T2 is 273.15 K (the standard temperature).
Step 5: Solve the equation to find V2. This will give you the volume of the Cl2 gas at STP.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas through the equation PV = nRT. This law is essential for understanding how gases behave under different conditions and allows for the calculation of one variable when the others are known.

Ideal Gas Law Formula

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is defined as a temperature of 0°C (273.15 K) and a pressure of 1 atm (760 torr). At STP, one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L, which is a critical reference point for gas calculations and conversions.

Gas Volume Conversion

Gas volume conversion involves adjusting the volume of a gas from one set of conditions (like temperature and pressure) to another. This is often done using the combined gas law, which allows for the calculation of the new volume when transitioning from non-STP conditions to STP.
