Question

Consider the following conditions: carbon dioxide gas was placed into a 3 L balloon, under a temperature of 305 K, resulting in 2.6 moles of carbon dioxide.



Assume you are going to use the ideal gas law to solve for the unknown variable.


What variable are you solving for?
Are all of variables in the correct units? If not, which variable needs to be converted to the correct units?

We are solving for the pressure of the carbon dioxide gas in the balloon.

To use the ideal gas law, we need to make sure all the variables are in the correct units. The ideal gas law equation is:

PV = nRT

Where:
P = pressure (in atm)
V = volume (in L)
n = moles
R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)
T = temperature (in Kelvin)

In this case, the volume is given in liters, the number of moles is given, the temperature is in Kelvin, and the ideal gas constant is in the correct units. So all variables are in the correct units.
