Question

A 18.0 L gas cylinder is filled with 6.20 moles of gas. The tank is stored at 33 ∘C . What is the pressure in the tank?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer 1

8.65 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using ideal law equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information given in this question;

V = 18.0 L

n = 6.20 moles

R = 0.0821 Latm/molK

T = 33°C = 33 + 273 = 306K

P = ?

Using PV = nRT

P × 18 = 6.20 × 0.0821 × 306

18P = 155.76

P = 155.76/18

P = 8.65 atm
