Question

How many moles of gas would there be given 92.28 liters, 505.33 mmHg and 658K?

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to solve this problem, we can use the Ideal Gas Law.

PV = nRT

Pressure needs to be in atmospheres (.50 atm)

Volume needs to be in liters (22.4 L)

n is the number of moles (and your unknown in this particular question)

R is the universal gas constant (R = .08206

T is the temperature in K (oC + 273 = K, so 27oC + 273 = 300. K)

(.50 atm) ( 22.4 L) = n (.08206
