A pressure cooker contains 0.355 mole of air, which occupies a volume of 5.68 liters. The temperature inside the pressure cooker is 394 K. What is the absolute pressure of the air in the pressure cooker? The pressure of the air is_ pascals. Express you answer to three significant figures.

We will use ideal gas equation in this problem

PV = nRT

Where

P = pressure of gas or air = ?

V = volume of air = volume of pressure cooker = 5.68 L

T = temperature = 394 K

n = moles of air = 0.355

R = ideal gas equation = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

Putting values

Pressure = nRT / V = 0.355 X 0.0821 X 394 / 5.68 = 2.02 atm.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
