Answer on Question #83508, Chemistry/ General Chemistry

If 51.5 moles of an ideal gas is at 9.55 atm at 17.00 °C, what is the volume of the gas?

Solution

We should use Ideal Gas Law to find the volume of the gas:

PV = nRT

where

P= 9.55 atm

n= 51.5 moles

R= 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)

T(K) = 17.00C +273.15 = 290.15 K

9.55 atm *V = 51.5 moles *0.082 L*atm /(K*mol) *290.15 K

V= 128 L

Answer: 128 L
