Question

What pressure is exerted by 0.625 moles of a gas in a 45.4 L container at -24.0 °C? Find pressure in units of atm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ok to solve this you will need to use the Ideal Gas Law Formula which is as follows:

PV = nRT

P= pressure

V= volume

n= # of moles

R= Universal Gas Constant (0.0821 L x atm/mol x K)

T= Kelvin temperature

1.Simplify the Ideal Gas Law formula to what you need to solve for:

P = (nRT)/ V

2. List all you components as follows (this makes the process easier):

P = ?

V = 45.4 L

n = 0.625 mol

R = 0.0821 L x atm/ mol x K

T = 249 K

To find the Kelvin temperature K = C + 273

3. Plug in all your components in your set up formula:

P = [(0.625 mol)(0.0821 L x atm/ mol x K)(249 K)] / (45.4 L)

4. Cross out all similar units so the only thing left is atm because you are trying to find pressure.

P = [(0.625)(0.0821atm)(249)] / (45.4)

5. Multiply through and simplify

P = 0.28 atm

B. is the correct answer.
