Capitolo 10, Problema 44b

Many gases are shipped in high-pressure containers. Consider a steel tank whose volume is 210.0 L that contains O2 gas at a pressure of 16,500 kPa at 23 °C. (b) What volume would the gas occupy at STP?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the initial conditions of the gas: volume \( V_1 = 210.0 \) L, pressure \( P_1 = 16,500 \) kPa, and temperature \( T_1 = 23 \, ^\circ\text{C} \).
Convert the initial temperature from Celsius to Kelvin using the formula \( T(K) = T(\degree C) + 273.15 \).
Recall the conditions for STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure): \( P_2 = 101.3 \) kPa and \( T_2 = 273.15 \) K.
Use the combined gas law \( \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{T_2} \) to solve for the final volume \( V_2 \).
Rearrange the equation to solve for \( V_2 \): \( V_2 = \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1 \cdot T_2}{P_2 \cdot T_1} \).

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 calculations involving changes in state, such as volume at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

Ideal Gas Law Formula

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

STP is defined as a temperature of 0 °C (273.15 K) and a pressure of 1 atm (101.3 kPa). At STP, one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters. Understanding STP is crucial for converting gas volumes from one set of conditions to another, as it provides a reference point for gas behavior.

Gas Volume Conversion

Gas volume conversion involves using the Ideal Gas Law and STP conditions to determine how the volume of a gas changes with variations in pressure and temperature. This concept is vital for solving problems where the initial and final states of a gas are compared, allowing for the calculation of unknown volumes under specified conditions.
