Question

If I have 9.6 moles of a gas at a pressure of 2.17 atm and a temperature of 112 C, what is the

volume of the container?

Answer 1

171.5 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

PV = nRT

convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:

T = 112 C + 273.15 = 385.15 K

substitute the given values into the ideal gas law:

V = (nRT)/P

V = (9.6 mol x 0.0821 L•atm/mol•K x 385.15 K)/2.17 atm

V = 171.5 L

The volume of the container is around 171.5 liters.
