. How many grams of (g) can be stored in a 10.0 L container at 1000 kPa and 30C?
Solution
Data Given;
Convert degrees to K
"Temperature = 30\u00b0C = 30 + 273 = 303K"
"Pressure = 100Kpa = 100\u00d71000 = 100000pa"
Conversion of Pascal pressure to Atmospheric pressure
Let the unknown pressure be = x
"1 atm = 1.01325\u00d710^5pa"
x atm = 100000pa
"x = 100000\/1.01325\u00d710^5 = 0.9869 atm"
Pressure = 0.9869 atm
Therefore,
100Kpa = 100000pa = 0.9869 atm
From general gas equation,
PV = nRT
Where P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = Number of moles
"R = Constant = 0.0821 atm L\/ mole K"
T = Temperature
PV = nRT
n = PV/RT
"n = 0.9869\u00d7\\frac{10}{0.0821}\u00d7303"
n = 9.869/24.8763 = 0.3967 moles
Recall that,
Number of moles (n) Mass/Molar mass
Mass = n × Molar mass
But Molar mass of Cl2 "= 35.5\u00d72" = 71 g/mole
"Mass = 0.3967\\times71"
= 28.1657 ≈ 28.17g
The mass of Chlorine that can be stored in the container is = 28.17g
