PLEASE HELP CHEM BABES I HAVE BEEN CRYING FOR A WHILE NOW

1. Calculate the mass of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) present in a 0.831 L container if the pressure is 100 kPa at a temperature of 27 oC. R = 8.31 kPa x L / mol x K. (K = oC + 273).

2. A 33.2 L tank contains 280 g of compressed helium. If the pressure inside the tank is 700.0 kPa, what is the temperature of the compressed gas? You must convert the mass of helium into moles using the molar mass of He. The conversion factor will be 1 mol / molar mass of helium. R = 8.31 kPa x L / mol x K

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To calculate the mass, you know you can convert by using molar mass. Since mass is in grams, we can use molar mass to convert moles to grams. This calls for the Ideal Gas Law.

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

We manipulate the equation so that we are solving for moles, then convert moles to grams.

n=PV/RT

P= 100 kPa

V= 0.831 L

R= 8.31 kPa*L/mol*K

T= 27°C+273= 300 K

Now that we have our values listed, we can plug in to find moles.


n=((100kPa)(0.831L))/((8.31kPa*l/molK)(300K))


n=0.033mol

We use the molar mass of NO₂ to find grams.


0.033mol*(46.005g)/(1mol )=1.52 g

The mass is 1.52 g.

2. To calculate the temperature, we need to use the Ideal Gas Law.

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

We can manipulate the equation so that we are solving for temperature.

T=PV/nR

P= 700.0 kPa

V= 33.2 L

R= 8.31 kPa*L/mol*K

n= 70 mol

Now that we have our values, we can plug in and solve for temperature.


T=((700kPa)(33.2L))/((70mol)(8.31 kPa*L/molK))


T=40K

The temperature is 40 K.
