Question

0.5 moles of CO2 have a volume of 50 L and a pressure of 0.8210 atm. What must be the temperature of the gas?

Answer 1

1000 K

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

• Moles of carbon dioxide (n): 0.5 moles

• Volume of carbon dioxide (V): 50 liters

• Pressure of carbon dioxide (P): 0.8210 atmospheres

• Temperature of carbon dioxide (T): ?

We can find the temperature of carbon dioxide using the ideal gas equation.

`P * V = n * R * T\\T = (P * V)/(n * R) = (0.8210atm * 50L)/(0.5mol * (0.08206atm.L)/(mol.K) )=1000 K`

The temperature of the gas is 1000 K.
