Answer:
1.259 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Pressure of gas = 1.2 atm
Volume of gas = 31 L
Temperature of gas = 87°C
Number of moles = ?
Solution:
The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,
PV = nRT
P= Pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K
T = temperature in kelvin
Now we will convert the temperature.
87+273 = 360 K
by putting values,
1.2 atm × 31 L = n×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 360 K
37.2 atm.L = n× 29.556 atm.L/ mol
n = 37.2 atm.L / 29.556 atm.L/ mol
n = 1.259 mol
