Answer:
0.047 moles
Explanation:
From the question,
Applying
PV = nRT............. Equation 1
Where P = Pressure of CH₄ gas, V = Volume of CH₄ gas, n = number of moles of CH₄ gas, R = Molar gas constant.
make n the subject of the equation
n = PV/RT............. Equation 2
Given: P = 660 torr = (660×0.00131579) atm = 0.868 atm, V = 1300 mL = (1300/1000) L = 1.3 L, T = 20 °C = (20+273) K = 293 K
Constant: R = 0.082 atm.dm³/K.mol
Substitute these values into equation 2
n = (0.868×1.3)/(0.082×293)
n = 1.1284/24.026
n = 0.047 mole
