Answer: 0.082 atm L k^-1 mole^-1
Explanation:
Given that:
Volume of gas (V) = 62.0 L
Temperature of gas (T) = 100°C
Convert 100°C to Kelvin by adding 273
(100°C + 273 = 373K)
Pressure of gas (P) = 250 kPa
[Convert pressure in kilopascal to atmospheres
101.325 kPa = 1 atm
250 kPa = 250/101.325 = 2.467 atm]
Number of moles (n) = 5.00 moles
Gas constant (R) = ?
To get the gas constant, apply the formula for ideal gas equation
pV = nRT
2.467 atm x 62.0L = 5.00 moles x R x 373K
152.954 atm•L = 1865 K•mole x R
To get the value of R, divide both sides by 1865 K•mole
152.954 atm•L / 1865 K•mole = 1865 K•mole•R / 1865 K•mole
0.082 atm•L•K^-1•mole^-1 = R
Thus, the value of gas constant is 0.082 atm L k^-1 mole^-1
