Question

A pressure cooker contains 5.68 liters of air at a temperature of 394 K. If the absolute pressure of the air in the pressure cooker is 205 pascals, how many moles of air are in the cooker? The cooker contains _______ moles of air. 1 SEE ANSWER

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find out volume of air at NTP or at 273 K and 10⁵ Pa ( 1 atm )

Let it be V₂

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{2\times 10^5\times 5.68}{394} =\frac{10^5\times V_2}{273}$

V₂ = 7.87 litres

22.4 litres of any gas is equivalent to 1 mole

7.87 litres of air will be equivalent to

7.87 / 22.4 moles

= .35 moles .
