How many moles of gas are in a 6.00 L container at a temperature of 360 K and a pressure of 2.35 atm? Given R= 0.0821 L atm/mol K.

1 answer

To calculate the number of moles of gas, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

Where:
P = Pressure (in atm)
V = Volume (in liters)
n = Number of moles
R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L atm/mol K)
T = Temperature (in Kelvin)

Rearranging the equation to solve for n, we have:

n = PV / RT

Plugging in the given values:
P = 2.35 atm
V = 6.00 L
R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K
T = 360 K

n = (2.35 atm * 6.00 L) / (0.0821 L atm/mol K * 360 K)

n = (14.1 L atm) / (29.556 L atm/mol K)

n ≈ 0.4767 moles

Therefore, there are approximately 0.4767 moles of gas in the 6.00 L container.
