Q. 8.65 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

At $100 °C$ which of the following diagrams $(1 ,2 ,or 3)$ represents a gas sample that exerts the:$(8.1)$

a. lowest pressure?

b. highest pressure?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

a. The lowest pressure in the diagram $\left(2\right)$: .

b.  The highest pressure in the diagram  $\left(1\right)$: .

Part (a) step 1: Given Information

We need to find the lowest pressure in the given diagrams.

Part (a) step 2: Simplify

If volume and temperature is the same the pressure is related to the number of mole of the sample. The number $\left(2\right)$ has the lowest molecule. Therefore has the lowest pressure.

Part (b) step 1: Given Information

We need to find the highest pressure in the given diagrams.

Part (b) step 2: Simplify

If volume and temperature is the same the pressure is related to the number of mole of the sample. The number  $\left(1\right)$ has the highest molecule. Therefore has the highest pressure.
