Answer to Question #256773 in General Chemistry for roro

Question

If I contain 3 moles of gas in a container with a volume of 60 liters and at a temperature of 400 K, what is the pressure inside the container

Answer 1

n = 3.0 moles

V = 60.0 L

T = 400 K

From PV = nRT, you can find P

P = nRT/V = (3.0 mol)(0.0821 L-atm/K-mol)(400 K)/60.0L

P = 1.642 atm

= 1.6 atm (to 2 significant figures)
