Answer 1

1. If 3.7 moles of propane are at the temperature of 28 degrees C and are under 1.27 atm of pressure, what volume does the sample occupy.

Solution:

Given

$n = 3.7 moles$

$T=28^0C+273=300K$

$P=1.27 atm$

$R=0.0821$ litre atm K^-1 mol^-1

$PV=nRT$

$V=nRT/P$

$V=3.7*0.0821*300/1.27$

$V=71.76litre$

Answer: 71.76 litre volume will be occupied
