Answer:

  • 0.0443 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data:

a) n = 0.540 mol

b) V = 35.5 liter

c) T = 223 K

2) Formula:

  • Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT

Where,

  • P = pressure
  • V = volume
  • n = number of moles
  • T = absolute temperature (kelvin scale)
  • R = universal gas constant = 0.08203 atm-liter/K-mol

3) Calculations:

  • Solve for P

PV = nRT ⇒ P = nRT/V

  • Substitute and compute:

P = 0.540 mol × 0.08206 atm-liter/K-mol × 223 K / 35.5 liter

P = 0.0443 atm (you must use 3 significant figures).
