5.3 : Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molar Mass, Density, and Volume

5.3 : Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molar Mass, Density, and Volume

The volume occupied by one mole of a substance is its molar volume. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, suggests that the volume of a given quantity of gas ...

5.4 : Mixtures of Gases: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions

5.4 : Mixtures of Gases: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions

Unless individual gases chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s pressure. Each gas ...

5.5 : Chemical Stoichiometry and Gases: Using Ideal Gas Law to Determine Moles

5.5 : Chemical Stoichiometry and Gases: Using Ideal Gas Law to Determine Moles

Chemical stoichiometry describes the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions. In addition to measuring quantities ...
