Answer:
The number of moles of xenon are 1.69 mol.
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of xenon = ?
Volume of gas = 37.8 L
Temperature = 273 K
Pressure = 1 atm
Solution:
The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,
PV = nRT
P= Pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K
T = temperature in kelvin
Now we will put the values in formula.
1 atm × 37.8 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K ×273 K
37.8 atm.L = n × 22.413 atm.L/ mol.
n = 37.8 atm.L / 22.413 atm.L/ mol.
n = 1.69 mol
The number of moles of xenon are 1.69.
