2 SO2 +O2 --> 2 SO3
A mixture of gases containing 0.20 mol of SO2 and 0.2 mol of O2 in a 4.0 L flask reacts to form SO3. If the temperature is 25ºC, what is the pressure in the flask after reaction is complete?
The Ideal Gas Law, also known as the General Gas Equation, is an equation that describes the behavior of an ideal gas under various conditions. It relates the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and number of moles (n) of a gas to each other through the universal gas constant (R).
The units for pressure are typically in atmospheres (atm), volume in liters (L), temperature in Kelvin (K), and number of moles in moles (mol). The universal gas constant has different units depending on the values used for the other variables.
The Ideal Gas Law is commonly used in fields such as chemistry, physics, and engineering to predict the behavior of gases in various situations. It can be used to calculate the pressure, volume, or temperature of a gas, as well as the number of moles present, given the other variables.
The Ideal Gas Law assumes that the gas particles are in constant, random motion and that there are no interactions between them. It also assumes that the volume of the gas particles themselves is negligible compared to the volume of the container they are in.
Yes, there are limitations to the Ideal Gas Law. It is most accurate at low pressures and high temperatures, and becomes less accurate as the pressure and/or temperature increase. It also does not account for the effects of intermolecular forces or the volume of the gas particles themselves.
