Question

If 12.4 mol of Ne gas occupies 122.8 L, how many mol of Ne would occupy 339.2 L under the same temperature and pressure? Record your answer in scientific notation using 3 significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.43×10¹ mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial number of  moles = 12.4 mol

Initial volume = 122.8 L

Final number of moles = ?

Final volume = 339.2 L

Solution:

The number of moles and volume are directly proportional to each other at same temperature and pressure.

V₁/n₁  =  V₂/n₂

122.8 L/ 12.4 mol  =  339.2 L / n₂

n₂ = 339.2 L× 12.4 mol  / 122.8 L

n₂ = 4206.08 L.mol /122.8 L

n₂ = 34.3mol

In scientific notation:

3.43×10¹ mol
