What is the correlation between pressure and elevation for an ideal gas?

Explanation:

Expression for vertical fluid pressure is as follows.

               \frac{dP}{dh} = \rho \times g ........... (1)

where,     p = pressure

            \rho = density

               g = acceleration due to gravity

               h = height

Since, g is negative then it means that an increase in height will lead to decrease in pressure.

Also, expression for density according to ideal gas law is as follows.

                 \rho = \frac{mP}{kT} .......... (2)

where,         m = average mass or air molecule

                    P = pressure at a given point

                    k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature in kelvin

Substituting values from equation (2) into equation (1) as follows.

              \frac{dP}{dh} = \rho \times g

              \frac{dP}{dh} = \frac{mP}{kT} \times g

               \frac{dP}{P} =  \frac{mg}{kT}dh

Now, on applying integration on both the sides we get the following.

                    ln\frac{P_{h}}{P^{o}} = \frac{-mgh}{kT}

or,                          P_{h} = P_{o}e^{\frac{-mgh}{kT}}                    

where,           P_{h} = pressure at height h

                      P_{o} = pressure at reference point    

Thus, we can conclude that the correlation between pressure and elevation for an ideal gas is  P_{h} = P_{o}e^{\frac{-mgh}{kT}}.

7. NH2CO2NH4(s) when heated to 450 K undergoes the following reaction to produce a system which reaches equilibrium: NH2CO2NH4(s
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Value of equilibrium constant is 0.0888

Explanation:

Both NH_{3} and CO_{2} are gaseous. Hence equilibrium constant depends upon partial pressures of NH_{3} and CO_{2}.

Initially no NH_{3} and CO_{2} were present.

Hence mole fraction of NH_{3} and CO_{2} at equilibrium can be calculated from coefficient of NH_{3} and CO_{2} in balanced equation.

Mole fraction of NH_{3} = (number of moles of NH_{3})/(total number of moles of NH_{3} and CO_{2}) = \frac{2moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{2}{3}

Mole fraction of CO_{2} = (number of moles of CO_{2})/(total number of moles of NH_{3} and CO_{2}) = \frac{1moles}{(2+1)moles}=\frac{1}{3}

Let's assume both CO_{2} and NH_{3} behaves ideally.

Therefore partial pressure of NH_{3}, P_{NH_{3}}= x_{NH_{3}}.P_{total} and P_{CO_{2}}= x_{CO_{2}}.P_{total}

Where x represents mole fraction

So, P_{NH_{3}}=\frac{2}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.562atm

P_{CO_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 0.843atm=0.281atm

So, K_{p}=P_{NH_{3}}^{2}.P_{CO_{2}}=(0.562)^{2}\times 0.281=0.0888
