Use the ideal gas equation to calculate the corresponding volume of oxygen gas at standard atmospheric temperature and pressure (SATP) of 25 ºC and 100 kPa (1 bar)? Enter your answer in the table. (d) State at least two limitations/assumptions in this method of estimation.
the ideal gas equation is
PV=nRT
where P is pressure in atm
V is volume in liter
n= molar mass =32 g/mol
R =gas constant= 0.0821 L atm mol-1K-1
T = temp in kelvin = 25+273=298k
PV=nRT
V=nRT/P
V= (32×0.0821×298)/1
782.90 L of O2 vol
limitatations of ideal gas equation
the main limitation if ideal gas is that it considers that the the calculations we assume that the gas is ideal
a ideal gas has zero volume which means that the gas can be
condensed to the zero volume but in real gases this is not possible
and even after condensation it has some volume . which affects the
calculation.
we also assume that ideal gas are not attracted to each other but
real gases for which we use ideal gas equation are attracted to
each other at some extents .
this are some assumption of ideal gas equation which becomes its limitations
if this helps you a thumbs up would be appriciated and if you want any further explanation plz ask in the comment section below. ill. be happy to help>
