Question
Dinitrogen oxide (N2O) gas was generated from the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate and collected over water. The wet gas occupied 123 mL at 21◦C when the atmospheric pressure was 760 Torr. What volume would the same amount of dry dinitrogen oxide have occupied if collected at 760 Torr and 21 ◦C? The vapor pressure of water is 18.65 Torr at 21◦C. Answer in units of mL.

Answer:
119.98 mL
Explanation:
Initial volume V1 = 123 ml
Initial temperature = T1 = 21◦C + 273 = 294 K
Initial pressure P1 = 760 Torr – 18.65 Torr = 741.35 Torr
Final volume V2= ???
Final temperature = T2= 21◦C + 273 = 294 K
Final pressure P2 = 760 Torr
From;
P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1
V2= 741.35 * 123 * 294/760 * 294
V2 = 119.98 mL
