Question

If you contain 3 moles of gas in a container with volume of 60 liters and at a tem of 400k what is the pressure inside the container

Answer 1

answer and explanation

we are given mols, temperature and volume of a gas and we are asked to determine the pressure inside the container.

to do this, we can use the equation:

PV = nRT

and we can rearrange it and make P subject of the formula as follows

P = (nRT)/V

= (3 x 0.0820574 x 400)/60

= 1.64 atm

the pressure inside the container is 1.64 atm
