Question

If 1.2 moles of ideal gas occupy a volume of 18.2 L at a pressure of 1.8 ATM what is the temperature of gas in degrees Celsius.

Answer 1

Answer: A 59.5 degree celcius

The equation that we will use to solve this problem is :

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of gas = 1.8 atm

V is the volume of gas = 18.2 liters

n is the number of moles of gas = 1.2 moles

R is the gas constant =  0.0821

T is the temperature required (calculated in kelvin)

Using these values to substitute in the equation, we find that:

(1.8)(18.2) = (1.2)(0.0821)(T)

T = 332.5 degree kelvin

The last step is to convert the degree kelvin into degree celcius:

T = 332.5 - 273 = 59.5 degree celcius
