A gas bottle contains 0.650 mol of gas at 730 mm Hg pressure. If the final pressure is 1.15 atm, how many moles of gas were added to the bottle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.779 mol

Explanation:

Since the gas is in a bottle, the volume of the gas is constant. Assuming the temperature remains constant as well, then the gas pressure is proportional to the number of moles:

[tex]p \propto n[/tex]

so we can write

[tex]\frac{p_1}{n_1}=\frac{p_2}{n_2}[/tex]

where

p1 = 730 mm Hg = 0.96 atm is the initial pressure

n1 = 0.650 mol is the initial number of moles

p2 = 1.15 atm is the final pressure

n2 is the final number of moles

Solving for n2,

[tex]n_2 = n_1 \frac{p_2}{p_1}=(0.650 mol)\frac{1.15 atm}{0.96 atm}=0.779 mol[/tex]

Answer: 0.129 moles of gas were added to the bottle

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation:'

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = Pressure of the gas

V= Volume of the gas

T= Temperature of the gas

R= Gas constant

n=  moles of gas

As Volume , gas constant and temperature are constant

[tex]\frac{P_1}{n_1}=\frac{P_2}{n _2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas =730 mm Hg =0.960 atm (760 mmHg = 1 atm)

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = 1.15 atm

[tex]n_1[/tex] = initial number of moles = 0.650

[tex]n_2[/tex] = final number of moles =  ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final moles of gas.

[tex]\frac{0.960}{0.650}=\frac{1.15}{n_2}[/tex]

[tex]n_2=0.779[/tex]

Therefore, the number of moles of gas will be 0.779

Thus moles of gas were added to the bottle are (0.779-0.650) = 0.129
