Hi there.
00:02
Let's go ahead and get started.
00:03
The first thing i want to record is the balanced equation that we are provided with.
00:09
It's nh4, n .o3, decomposes to form n02, which is a gas, and 2h2, which is also a gas, because it's very hot.
00:27
So both of these are gases.
00:34
And what we know is that combined, we want to make 82 .3 liters.
00:47
Of gas of these two gases combined.
00:52
And what we want to know is how many grams of the nh4 n .o3 we need to start with to make 82 .3 liters of the gases.
01:02
A little bit of other important information is we are at 447 degrees celsius.
01:09
So our water is definitely a gas.
01:12
Remember water boils at 100 degrees celsius.
01:15
I'm going to go ahead and immediately convert this to kelvin because i know i'm working with gas law problems and gas law problems always use kelvin.
01:25
I'm also given 896 tor.
01:32
Right.
01:32
So let's think about this problem.
01:34
If i am trying to figure out information about one thing in the equation by starting with information about something else, that tells me i'm going to have to do some stoichiometry.
01:47
But the problem is i'm starting with leaders of gases that are not at stp.
01:53
So i cannot use 22 .4.
01:56
What i'm going to need to do is use the ideal gas equation to figure out how many moles of gas i have under these conditions of temperature and pressure.
02:07
So i'm going to take the ideal gas equation and rearrange it to solve for number of moles.
02:12
So that would give me pv over rt.
02:18
And let's go ahead and solve for number of moles of gases.
02:25
I have 896 tor as the pressure.
02:35
The volume we are given, the total volume of both of these gases combined is 82 .3 liters.
02:44
The r value i want to use is the r that gives me tor in the units...
