What is the pressure of 0.8 moles of Neon gas that occupies a volume of 8.5 L at a temperature of 350 K. given R= 0.0821 L atm/ mol K. a 2.7 atm b 0.59 atm c 17.0 atm d 0.37 atm

1 answer

To find the pressure, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

where:
P = pressure
V = volume
n = moles
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature

Plugging in the given values:
n = 0.8 moles
V = 8.5 L
T = 350 K
R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

P(8.5) = (0.8)(0.0821)(350)

P = (0.8)(0.0821)(350) / 8.5

P ≈ 0.326 atm

Therefore, the pressure of 0.8 moles of Neon gas is approximately 0.37 atm (option d).
