What amount of moles does 60.5 L of carbon dioxide occupy at 2.15 atm and 25 degrees C?

4.3 moles
5.3 moles
9.3 moles
2.5 moles

5.3 moles

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

n = PV/RT

Where:

n = number of moles

P= Pressure = 2.15 atm

V= volume = 60.5 L

R = 0.0821 atm(L)/mol(K)

T = temperature = 25 °+ 273.15 = 298.15 Kelvin  

Replacing with the values given:

n = 2.15 (60.5) / 0.0821 (298.15) = 5.3 moles.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

your answer would be “dry”
