Answer:
Mass = 0.32 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of CH₄ = ?
Volume of CH₄ = 500 mL (500 mL× 1L/1000 mL= 0.5 L)
Temperature = 273 K
Pressure = 1 atm
Solution:
Volume of CH₄:
500 mL (500 mL× 1L/1000 mL= 0.5 L)
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
By putting values,
1 atm× 0.5 L = n×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273 K
0.5 atm.L = n×22.4 atm.L/ mol
n = 0.5 atm.L / 22.4 atm.L/ mol
n = 0.02 mol
Mass in gram:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.02 mol × 16 g/mol
Mass = 0.32 g
