A box with a volume of 44.8 L contains 5.0 mol of hydrogen at 500K. Calculate the pressure of the gas in mmHg.
R = 62.4 mmHg L/mol K

3.5 × 10³ mmHg

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Calculate the pressure (P) of the gas

If we assume an ideal behavior, we can calculate the pressure of the hydrogen gas using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

P = n × R × T/V

P = 5.0 mol × (62.4 mmHg.L/mol.K) × 500 KT/44.8 L = 3.5 × 10³ mmHg

c, liquids evaporate, creating a gas
