What is the volume of 18.0 grams of pure water at 4°C and 1 atm?
Solution:
From the given word problem, it is about Ideal Gas Law because the weight, temperature, and pressure of pure water are given and we need to solve for the volume.
The Ideal Gas Law is given by the equation
where:
P = pressure of a gas or vapor
V = volume of a gas or vapor
n = moles of a gas or vapor
T = absolute temperature of a gas or vapor
n = universal gas law constant
The number of moles of pure water is
The absolute temperature of pure water is
The universal gas law constant for gmole, K, and atmosphere is
.Therefore, the volume of pure water is
