Human activities that contribute to desertification include the expansion and intensive use of agricultural lands, poor irrigation practices, deforestation, and overgrazing. ... Some meteorologists and soil scientists measure the impacts and length of a drought to determine if it is an example of desertification.

A 0.223 mole sample of gas is held at 33.0 C and 2.00 atm, What's the volume of the gas? R = 0.0821 L atm / mol K answer soon il

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The volume of the gas is 2.80 L.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be made up of point particles that move randomly and do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The Pressure (P) of a gas on the walls of the container that contains it, the Volume (V) it occupies, the Temperature (T) at which it is located and the amount of substance it contains (number of moles, n) are related from the equation known as Equation of State of Ideal Gases:

P*V = n*R*T

where R is the constant of ideal gases.

In this case:

P= 2 atm
V= ?
n=0.223 moles
R= 0.0821 $\frac{L*atm}{mol*K}$
T=33 °C= 306 °K (being O°C= 273°K)

Replacing:

2 atm* V= 0.223 moles*0.0821 $\frac{L*atm}{mol*K}$ * 306 K

Solving:

$V=\frac{0.223 moles*0.0821\frac{L*atm}{mol*K} * 306 K}{2 atm} \\$

V= 2.80 L

<u><em>The volume of the gas is 2.80 L.</em></u>
