Answer: 0.049 mol
Explanation:
1) Data:
n₁ = 0.250 mol
p₁ = 730 mmHg
p₂ = 1.15 atm
n₂ - n₁ = ?
2) Assumptions:
i) ideal gas equation: pV = nRT
ii) V and T constants.
3) Solution:
i) Since the temperature and the volume must be assumed constant, you can simplify the ideal gas equation into:
pV = nRT ⇒ p/n = RT/V ⇒ p/n = constant.
ii) Then p₁ / n₁ = p₂ / n₂
⇒ n₂ = p₂ n₁ / p₁
iii) n₂ = 1.15atm × 760 mmHg/atm × 0.250 mol / 730mmHg = 0.299 mol
iv) n₂ - n₁ = 0.299 mol - 0.250 mol = 0.049 mol
A star's temperature is most likely indicated by the color of it. The hotter the star, the bluer it is. The colder the star, the redder it is.
That is called the capacity.
