Answer:
5.12 atm
Explanation:
Before you can use the Ideal Gas Law to find the pressure, you need to convert grams to moles (via molar mass).
Molar Mass (H₂): 2(1.008 g/mol)
Molar Mass (H₂): 2.016 g/mol
1.8 grams H₂ 1 mole
---------------------- x ---------------------- = 0.893 moles H₂
2.016 grams
The Ideal Gas Law equation looks like this:
PV = nRT
In this equation,
-----> P = pressure (atm)
-----> V = volume (L)
-----> n = moles
-----> R = Ideal Gas Constant (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)
-----> T = temperature (K)
After converting Celsius to Kelvin, you can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to find the pressure.
P = ? atm R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K
V = 4.3 L T = 27 °C + 273.15 = 300.15 K
n = 0.893 moles
PV = nRT
P(4.3 L) = (0.893 moles)(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(300.15 K)
P(4.3 L) = 22.0021
P = 5.12 atm
**Based on my past experiences, I believe the constant (R) you provided may have been mistyped. Instead of 0.821, I used 0.0821.**
