9.13

[Kyra LeRoy 1E]

In the solutions manual, it uses 1 mol of nitrogen gas in calculations. How do we know that there is 1 mol? Is this just something we assume if not given a molar amount?

[Kellina Tran 2I]

I’m not completely sure, but I feel like it might have something to do with it having to be in standard state because it says “Assume ideal behavior.” Someone correct me if I’m wrong

[Nhan Nguyen 2F]

It only states "nitrogen gas" without giving any amount of mols, so I think you can just use 1 mol for that one

Yes I think that's what we are supposed to use when it says to assume ideal behavior

[Rachel Formaker 1E]

Although it does not specify 1 moleof N₂ gas in the book, 9.13 is listed in the solutions manual errors on Lavelle's website. In the corrected answer, Lavelle says to assume both ideal behavior and 1 mol of N₂ gas.
