Question

P = ? in kPa

V= 0.602 L
n = 0.00801 mol
T = 311 K
R = 8.314 L-kPa/mol-K
Use numbers as written to calculate. Round to nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

This problem can be solved by using ideal gas equation PV=nRT. The unit used in the numbers is already matched so you don't need to convert any of them. The calculation would be:

PV= nRT

P* 0.602 L = 0.00801 mol *311 K* (8.314 L*kPa/mol*K)
P= 20.71 L-kPa / 0.602L
P= 34.40 kPa
