Question

A gas under a pressure of 9.86 kPa and at a temperature of 75°C occupies a 500.0L container. How many moles of gas are in the container?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.7 mol

Explanation:

This is an ideal gas problem. So many units! That's the tip-off usually.

PV=nRT

First convert kPA to atm 1 atm=101.3 kPA so 9.86/101.3 = .097311 atm

(.097311 atm x 500L) = n · 0821 L·atm/mol·K · 348K

Do your multiplication then divide to get n alone and you should get 1.7 mol
