Question

Calculate the approximate volume of a 0.600 mol sample of gas at 15.0°c and a pressure of 1.10 atm.

Answer 1

`0.013 m^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the ideal gas equation:

`pV=nRT`

where

`p=1.10 atm = 1.11\cdot 10^5 Pa` is the gas pressure

`V` is the gas volume

n = 0.600 is the number of moles of the gas

`R=8.314 J/(mol K)` is the gas constant

`T=15.0^(\circ)+273.15=288.15 K` is the absolute temperature of the gas

Solving the equation for V, we find the volume of the gas:

`V=(nRT)/(p)=((0.600 mol)(8.314 J/(mol K))(288.15 K))/(1.11\cdot 10^5 Pa)=0.013 m^3`
