Question

A container initially holds 1.24mol of hydrogen gas and has a volume of 27.8L. Hydrogen gas was added to the container, and the final volume increased to 40.6L while the temperature and pressure remained constant. How many moles of hydrogen gas are in the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

After increasing the volume, we have 1.81 moles of hydrogen gas in the container

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles hydrogen gas (H2) = 1.24 moles

Volume of hydrogen gas (H2° = 27.8 L

The final volume is increas to 40.6 L

Step 2: Calculate the new number of moles

V1/n1 = V2/n2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 27.8 L

⇒with n1 = the initial number of moles H2 = 1.24 moles

⇒with V2 = the final volume = 40.6 L

⇒with n2 = the new number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

27.8L / 1.24 moles = 40.6 L / n2

n2 = 40.6 / (27.8/1.24)

n2= 1.81 moles

After increasing the volume, we have 1.81 moles of hydrogen gas in the container
