Answer:

0.3269

Step-by-step explanation:

You would use the ideal gas law along with the equation Pv=nrt when P is pressure, v is volume, n is the moles of gas you are solving for, r is a constant that is , and t is temperature,

So you are given pressure, volume, and temperature, so you would begin by plugging in your known values:

P = 1atm

V = 8.00 L

T = 298 K ( but you usually want to use Kelvin so you would add 273.15; this is because 0 C is 273.15 K and 25+273=298)

(1)(8)=n(0.0821)(298)

then

8=n(24.4658)

next isolate n by dividing 24.4658 on each side

8/24.4658 = n (24.4658/24.4658)

0.3269=n(1) or n
