Calculate the amount in moles of a gas which occupies 10.5 dm3 at 6 atm and 30oC [R = 0.082 atm dm3 K-1 mol-1]
-
A.
2.536 -
B.
1.623 -
C.
4.736 -
D.
0.394
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
For an ideal gas PV = nRT
Amount in moles = n
Volume v = 10.5dm3
Pressure P = 6atm
Temperature T = 30°C + 273 = 303k
R, Gas constant = 0.082 atmdm3k-1 mol
Recall from ideal gas equation
pv = nRT
n = (frac{RV}{RT})
n = (frac{6 times 10.5}{0.082 times 303})
n= 2.536mol
