Question

The pressure exerted by 1.5 mol of gas in a 13 L flask at 22 °C is ____ kPa

Answer 1

Answer:

282.7KPa

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Number of mole of (n) = 1.5 mole

Volume (V) = 13L

Temperature (T) = 22°C = 22 + 273°C = 295K

Pressure (P) =..?

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Step 2:

Determination of the pressure exerted by the gas.

This can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as follow:

PV = nRT

P = nRT /V

P = 1.5 x 0.082 x 295 / 13

P = 2.79atm.

Step 3:

Conversion of 2.79atm to KPa.

This is illustrated below:

1 atm = 101.325KPa

Therefore, 2.79atm = 2.79 x 101.325 = 282.7KPa

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the gas in KPa is 282.7KPa
