Question

A gas occupies a volume of 85.0 liters at a pressure of 2.24 atm and a temperature of 22.5 degrees celsius. How many moles of gas are in the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 7.86 mol

Explanation:

This question can be solved using the ideal gas law of PV = nRT.

Temperature must be in K, so we will convert 22.5C to 295 K ( Kelvin = C + 273).

R is the ideal gas constant of 0.0821.

(2.24atm)(85.0L) = n(0.0821)(295K)

Isolate n to get:

n = (2.24atm)(85.0L)/(0.0821)(295K)

n = 7.86 mol
