Question

1. What pressure would be exerted by 46.0grams of hydrogen gas placed into a 3.00 L container at

25°C?

Answer 1

187.34 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

PV = nRT.................. Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume, n = number of mole, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

make P the subject of the equation

P = nRT/V.............. Equation 2

n = mass(m)/molar mass(m')

n = m/m'............... Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

P = (m/m')RT/V............ Equation 4

Given: m = 46 g, T = 25°C = (25+273) = 298 K, V = 3.00 L

Constant: m' = 2 g/mol, R = 0.082 atmL/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 4

P = (46/2)(0.082×298)/3

P = (23×0.082×298)/3

P = 187.34 atm
