Answer:
0.574moles
Explanation:
Using the general gas equation;
PV = nRT
Where;
P = pressure (atm)
V = volume (Litres)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)
T = temperature (Kelvin)
According to the information provided in the question;
- Volume (V) = 12400mL = 12400/1000 = 12.4L
- Pressure (P) = 890mmHg = 890/760 = 1.17atm
- Temperature (T) = 35°C = 35 + 273 = 308K
Hence, using PV = nRT
n = PV/RT
n = 1.17 × 12.4 ÷ 0.0821 × 308
n = 14.508 ÷ 25.287
n = 0.574moles
Therefore, the number of moles of argon gas in the cylinder is 0.574moles
