Question

What amount in moles does 242 L of carbon dioxide occupy at 1.32 atm and 20 degrees C

Answer 1

13.28 mol.

Step-by-step explanation:

• We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 1.32 atm).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 242.0 L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = ??? mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K).

T is the temperature of the gas in K (T = 20.0° + 273 = 293.0 K).

∴ n = PV/RT = (1.32 atm)(242.0 L)/(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(293.0 K) = 13.28 mol.
