Answer:
n = 2.1 mol
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of gas = ?
Volume of gas = 56.3 L
Pressure of gas = 0.899 atm
Temperature of gas = 20°C (20+273 = 293 k)
Solution:
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
0.899 atm × 56.3 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 293 k
50.614 atm.L = n × 24.055 atm.L/ mol
n = 50.614 atm.L / 24.055 atm.L/ mol
n = 2.1 mol
