Question

Given the following sets of values, calculate the unknown

Answer 1

Answer:

3.91 L

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas law equation as follows:

PV = nRT

Where:

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

Based on the information given in this question,

P = 5.23 atm

V= ?

n = 0.831 mol

T = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = (0.831 × 0.0821 × 300) ÷ 5.23

V = 20.47 ÷ 5.23

V = 3.91 L
