Question #75842

What is the volume, in liters, of 4.00 moles of methane gas, CH4, at 15 ∘C and 1.60 atm?

Expert's answer

Answer:

From the ideal gas laws we know that


PV=nRT.P \cdot V = nRT.


We need to find the volume of gas, than formula will be


V=nRTPV = \frac{nRT}{P}


n= 4.00 moles of methane gas, CH4, T= 15 °C in kelvin 273+15=288K and P=1.60 atm


V=4mol0.0821LatmmolK288K1.60atmV = \frac{4mol \cdot 0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{mol \cdot K} \cdot 288K}{1.60atm}


V=59,1 L
