Question

If 12.0 lbs of sulfur trioxide is decomposed by the reaction shown below and the product mixture is brought to STP, how many gallons of gas will be produced? Assume ideal behavior.

2SO3(g) → 2SO2(g) + O2(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

One  environment where ideal gas laws are useful is in commercial buildings.  Ideal gas laws are also at work in closed, sealed areas like airplanes where there must be a proper pressure balance between the air inside and outside the aircraft. Another example of ideal gas laws in daily life involve airbags in vehicles.    Generally, a gas behaves more like an ideal gas at higher temperature and lower pressure, as the potential energy due to inter molecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particles' kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them.
