Question

A 35 L tank of oxygen is at 315 K with an internal pressure of 190 atmospheres. How

many moles of gas does the tank contain?

Answer 1

600.7 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

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

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

make n the subject of the equation

n = PV/RT............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 190 atm, V = 35 L, T = 135 K

Constant: R = 0.082 atm.dm³/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

n = (190×35)/(135×0.082)

n = 600.7 moles of xygen
