Question

A 12.0 L gas cylinder has been filled with 5.40 moles of gas. You measure the pressure to be 3.10 atm What is the temperature inside the tank?

Answer 1

Answer:

83.95 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of the container = 12 L = 12 x 10⁻³  m³

Number of moles of gas = 5.40 moles

Pressure = 3.10 atm = 3.10 x 101325 Pa = 314107.5 Pa

Using ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

⇒314107.5 x 12 x 10⁻³  m³ = 5.40 moles x 8.314 J/mol K x T

⇒T = 83.95 K
