How many moles of gas does it take to occupy 120L at 2.3atm and 340K
Answered by Dr Russ
You will need to assume that it is an ideal gas and that 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 litres at STP (273 K, 1 atm).

then use P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

I would convert 120 L to STP and then compare the volume obtained with 22.4 litres as this then gives you the number of moles.

I disagree with Dr. Russ's method. Use PV=nRT, where P=2.3atm, V=120L, n= unknown moles, R= .08205, T=340K.

Solve for n to get 9.9 mol gas.

Without significant figures, n=9.893536939.
