Answer: There are 3.2 moles of gas if you have a volume of 38.0 L under a pressure of 1430 mmHg at standard temperature.
Explanation:
Given: Volume = 38.0 L
Pressure = 1430 mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.00131579 atm) = 1.9 atm
Temperature = 273.15 K
Using ideal gas equation, the moles of gas will be calculated as follows.
where,
P = pressure
V = volume
n = no. of moles
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K
T =temperature
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that there are 3.2 moles of gas if you have a volume of 38.0 L under a pressure of 1430 mmHg at standard temperature.
