2. If you have an unknown quantity of gas at a pressure of 1.2atm, a volume of 31 L, and a temperature of 87°C, How many moles of gas do I have? (round answer to the nearest
Thousandths)
(33 Points)
0.373 mol
1.736 mol
1.259 mol

1.259 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Pressure of gas = 1.2 atm

Volume of gas = 31 L

Temperature of gas = 87°C

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

87+273 = 360 K

by putting values,

1.2 atm × 31 L = n×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 360 K

37.2 atm.L = n× 29.556 atm.L/ mol

n = 37.2 atm.L / 29.556 atm.L/ mol

n = 1.259 mol
