Question

The ideal gas law equation is: PV = nRT

Use the ideal gas law to calculate the moles of gas in a container that has a pressure
of 700kpa, volume of 2L and a temperature of 450K.

Answer 1

The answer is the first option 0.37 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

the ideal gas law is PV = nRT, so in the terms of n,

n = PV/RT (divide both sides by RT to let n stand alone)

given: P = 700 kpa, V = 2L, T = 450 K , R = 8.31

n = (700 * 2) / (8.31 * 450)

= 1400/3739.5

= 0.34
