According to the ideal gas law, the number of the moles of a gas relates to its volume , absolute temperature and pressure as:
,
where is the ideal gas constant , equal to 8.314 J mol-1 K-1.
The mass can be calculated from the number of the moles, using the molar mass of neon g/mol:
.
Therefore, the mass of neon gas is:
g.
Note: don't forget to convert the temperature in °C to the temperature in K, adding 273.15 to the value in °C.
Answer: the mass of the neon gas is 1.33 g.
