Question

For an ideal gas condition, what is the mass (g) of N2 if the pressure is 2.0 atm, the volume is 25 mL and the temperature is 290 Kelvin.

Answer 1

Answer:

THE MASS OF NITROGEN GAS IN THIS CONDITIONS IS 0.0589 g

Explanation:

In an ideal condition

PV = nRT or PV = MRT/ MM where:

M = mass = unknown

MM =molar mass = 28 g/mol

P = pressure = 2 atm

V = volume = 25 mL = 0.025 L

R = gas constant = 0.082 L atm/mol K

T = temperature = 290 K

n = number of moles

The gas in the question is nitrogen gas

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 * 2 = 28 g/mol

Then equating the variables and solving for M, we have

M = PV MM/ RT

M = 2 * 0.025 * 28 / 0.082 * 290

M = 1.4 / 23.78

M = 0.0589 g

The mass of the nitrogen gas at ideal conditions of 2 atm, 25 mL volume and 290 K temperature is 0.0589 g
