Question

A hydrogen filled balloon has a bolume of 8.3 L at 36 C and 751 torr. How many moles of hydrogen are inside the balloon?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.33 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of balloon = 8.3 L

Temperature = 36°C

Pressure = 751 torr

Number of moles of hydrogen = ?

Solution:

Temperature = 36°C (27 +273 = 300 K)

Pressure = 751 torr (751/760= 0.988 atm)

Formula:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

PV  = nRT

0.988 atm × 8.3 L  = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 300 K

8.2 atm.L = n × 24.63 atm.L/ mol

n = 8.2 atm.L / 24.63 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.33 mol
