Question

At 17.0 degrees Celsius, a 0.800 mole sample of a gas exerts a pressure of 1.20 atmospheres.

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume in the container is 15.86 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 17.0 °C = 290 K

Number of moles = 0.800 moles

Pressure = 1.20 atm

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the container

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of the gas = 1.20 atm

⇒with V of the container = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with n = the number of moles = 0.800 moles

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*Atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperatur = 17.0 °C = 290 K

V = (n*R*T)/p

V = (0.800 moles * 0.08206L*atm/mol*K * 290 K) / 1.20 atm

V = 15.86 L

The volume in the container is 15.86 L
