A tank holds 2.85 L of oxygen at 22.1 Celsius and 235 atm. (A) how many moles of gas does the tank contain? (B) what is the average kinetic energy per molecule ?

Answer 1

(A) (2.85/22.4)* 235*(273.2/295.3) moles
(B) (3/2)kT
k is the Boltzmann constant.
If you include kinetic energy of O2 molecule rotation, the answer is (5/2) kT

Answer 2

but the answer in the text book is (a) 27.7 moles (b) 2.381x10^7pa
i just want the formula so i can attempt the problem myself

Answer 3

My answer to (A) agrees with the text book.
The answer to (B) cannot be in Pascals. You mistyped something or the book is wrong. I gave you the formula.

Answer 4

If u type this question in to the google it will give u the answer which agrees with your text book

Answer 5

What is k in the formula (3/2)kT
