A student investigates the behaviour of dinitrogen monoxide, N2O, used as a mild anaesthetic in dentistry. A sealed syringe contains 0.920g of N2O at 22.0°C and occupies a volume of 0.500dm3.
(a)
State two assumptions of the ideal gas model that are violated by real gases at high pressure or low temperature. [2 marks]
(b)
Calculate the pressure, in kPa, exerted by the N2O gas, assuming ideal behaviour. [3 marks]
(c)
The actual pressure measured inside the syringe is slightly lower than the value calculated in (b). Explain why, with reference to the assumptions stated in (a). [2 marks]
