Question

What is the volume of a tank of nitrogen if it contains 17 moles of nitrogen at 34 C under 12,000 Pa?

Answer 1

Answer: 3571 L

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation:'

$PV=nRT$

P = Pressure of the gas = 12000 Pa = 0.12 atm    $1Pa=9.9\times 10^{-6}atm$

V= Volume of the gas = volume of tank = ?

T= Temperature of the gas = 34°C = 307 K    $0^0C=273K$  

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n=  moles of gas= 17

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{17\times 0.0821\times 307}{0.12}=3571 L$

Therefore Volume of tank is 3571 Liters.
