Question

What temperature would 3.54 moles of xenon gas need to reach to exert a pressure of 1.57 atm at a volume of 34.6 l

Answer 1

Answer:

186.9Kelvin

Explanation:

The ideal gas law equation is PV = n R T

where

P   is the pressure of the gas

V   is the volume it occupies

n  is the number of moles of gas present in the sample

R  is the universal gas constant, equal to  0.0821 atm L /mol K

T  is the absolute temperature of the gas

Ensure units of the volume, pressure, and temperature of the gas correspond to R ( the universal gas constant, equal to  0.0821 atm L /mol K )

n = 3.54moles

P= 1.57

V= 34.6

T=?

PV = n R T

PV/nR = T

1.57 x 34.6/3.54 x 0.0821

54.322/0.290634= 186.908620464= T

186.9Kelvin ( approximately to 1 decimal place)
