Question

If the pressure is 100,000 Pa, R is 8.314, the temperature is 300 K, and the number of moles of gas (n) is 100, what is the volume in m3?

Answer 1

We can solve the problem by using the ideal gas equation:
$pV=nRT$
where
p is the pressure of the gas
V is the volume of the gas
n is the number of moles of the gas
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature of the gas

For the gas in our problem, we have:
$p=100000 Pa$
$R=8.314 J mol^{-1} K^{-1}$
$T=300 K$
$n=100$

If we rearrange the equation and we put these numbers into it, we find the volume of the gas:
$V= \frac{nRT}{p}= \frac{(100)(8.314)(300)}{100000}=2.49 m^3$
