Question

If i have 17 moles of gas at a temperature of 67c, and a volume of 88.89 liters what is the pressure of the gas

Answer 1

Use the state equation for ideal gases: pV = nRT

Data:

V = 88.89 liter
n = 17 mol
T = 67 + 273.15 = 340.15 K

R = 0.0821 atm * liter / (K*mol)

=> p = nRT / V = 17 mol * 0.0821 (atm*liter / K*mol) * 340.15 K / 88.89 liter

p = 5.34 atm

Answer: p = 5.34 atm
