Question

A sample of 1.00 moles of oxygen at 50°C and 98.6 kPa, occupies what volume?

Answer 1

Answer:

27.22 dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles = 1 mole

temperature= 50°C, in K gives 50+ 273 = 323K

Pressure= 98.6kpa in ATM, gives 0.973 ATM

Solution:

Since the unknown is the volume of gas, applying the ideal gas law will be appropriate in solving this problem.

The ideal gas law is mathematically expressed as,

Pv=nRT

where P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature

Input the parameters and solve for V,

0.973 x V = 1 x 0.082 x 323

V= 27.22 dm³
