Question

At 600. K how many moles of gas are in a 1.00 L cylinder at atmospheric pressure?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.02moles

Explanation:

To answer this question, the general gas law equation is used. The General gas law is:

Pv = nRT

Where; P = standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles

R = Gas law constant

T = Temperature

For this question; volume = 1.00L, atmospheric pressure (P) = 1 atm, R = 0.0821 L-atm / mol K, T = 600K, n = ?

Therefore; Pv = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 1 × 1/ 0.0821 × 600

n = 1/49.26

n = 0.0203moles

Hence, there are 0.02 moles of gas.
