Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Distillation is a process of separating the contents of a liquid mixture by making use of the difference in the boiling temperatures of the components of the mixture. As the boiling point of each component is reached, it evaporates off and the vapor is condensed and collected to give a pure product.

<em>It is never advisable to distillate to dryness because allowing the content of the distilling flask to dry up can cause heat to damage the flask or in some extreme cases, cause unintended chemical reactions that might alter the outcome of the experiment or cause laboratory accident.</em>

A 50 L cylinder is filled with argon gas to a pressure of 10130.0 kPa at 300°C. How many moles of argon gas does the cylinder co
KengaRu [80]
In this problem, we need to use the ideal gas law. The following is the formula used in ideal gas law: PV = nRT, where n refers to the moles and R is the gas constant.

Given 
P = 10130.0 kPa 
V = 50 L
T = 300 degree celcius + 273.15 = 573.15 K
R = 8.314 L. kPa/K.mol

Solution
To get the moles which represent the "n" in the formula, we need to rearrange the equation.

PV = nRT                      PV
----    ------    --->    n = --------
 RT     RT                       RT

          10130.0 kPa  x 50 L
n= ---------------------------------------------
       8.314 L. kPa/K.mol  x 573.15 K
             506,500 
  =  ----------------------------
         4,765.17  mol K

=106.29 mol Ar

So the moles of argon gas is 106.29 moles
