Concentration Definition. In chemistry, concentration refers to the amount of a substance per defined space. Another definition is that concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. Concentration usually is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume.
When you assume that the gas is behaving ideally, the gas molecules are very far from each other that they do not have any intermolecular forces. If it behaves this way, you can assume the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where
P is the pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles
R is a gas constant
T is the absolute temperature
When the process goes under constant pressure (and assuming same number of moles),
P/nR = T/V = constant, therefore,
T₁/V₁=T₂/V₂
If V₂ = V₁(1+0.8) = 1.8V₁, then,
T₂/T₁ = 1.8V₁/V₁
Cancelling V₁,
T₂/300=1.8
T₂ =540 K
If you do not assume ideal gas, you use the compressibility factor, z. The gas equation would now become
PV =znRT
However, we cannot solve this because we don't know the value of z₁ and z₂. There will be more unknowns than given so we won't be able to solve the problem. But definitely, the compressibility factor method is more accurate because it does not assume ideality.
Question: The question is incomplete. Below is the complete question and the answer;
While ethanol (CH3CH2OH is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene CH2CH2) with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 50.0 L tank at 22. °C with 24. mol of ethylene gas and 24. mol of water vapor. He then raises the temperature considerably, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium determines that it contains 15.4 mol of ethylene gas and 15.4 mol of water vapor The engineer then adds another 12. mol of water, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
Number of moles of ethanol = 11 mol
