Question

A chemist collects gas from a reaction that occurs in aqueous solution. Atmospheric pressure is1.13 atm, and the temperature of the reaction is 80 °C. What pressure should she use whencalculating the number of moles of product using the ideal gas law?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmospheric pressure can be considered to calculate the moles of gas collected, but it must be assumed that the vessel in which the gas is being collected has a water level equal to the vessel that is in contact with the environment, so the pressure inside the gas collector will be equal to the atmospheric pressure.
