Answer:

0.674 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Volume (V) = 4 L

Pressure (P) = 560 kPa

Temperature (T) = 127°C

Number of mole (n) =?

Step 2:

Conversion to appropriate unit.

For pressure:

101.325 KPa = 1 atm

Therefore, 560 kPa = 560/101.325 = 5.53 atm

For temperature:

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

temperature (celsius) = 127°C

Temperature (Kelvin) = 127°C + 273 = 400K

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of Neon.

The number of mole of Neon can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as follow:

Volume (V) = 4 L

Pressure (P) = 5.53 atm

Temperature (T) = 400K

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

5.53 x 4 = n x 0.082 x 400

Divide both side by 0.082 x 400

n = (5.53 x 4) /(0.082 x 400)

n = 0.674 mol

The number of mole of Neon is 0.674 mol
