Question

The pressure exerted by 0.002 moles of a gas in a 500 mL container at 25oC is:

Answer 1

0.1715 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Ideal gas equation to calculate this

Mathematically;

PV = nRT

rearranging, we have

P = nRT/V

from the question, we have

n = 0.002 moles

R = 0.082

T = 250 = 250 + 273 = 523 K

V = 500 ml = 500/1000 = 0.5 L

Plugging the values we have;

P = (0.002 * 0.082 * 523)/0.5

P = 0.1715 atm
