Air(H2O) syringe
Room temperature water at 21.3 degrees Celsius
Volume of 5.1 mL

Room temperature water at 21.3 degrees Celsius
Volume of 5.2 mL

Answer:

A: 2.525 x 10⁻⁴ mol

B: 2.583 x 10⁻⁴ mol

Explanation:

Part A:

Data Given:

  • Temperature of water (H₂O) = 21.3°C

Convert Temperature to Kelvin

T = °C + 273

T = 21.3 + 273 = 294.3 K

  • volume of (H₂O) gaseous state = 5.1 mL

Convert mL to liter

1000 mL = 1 L

5.1 ml = 5.1/1000 = 0.0051 L

  • Pressure = 1.2 atm
  • no. of moles = ?

Solution

no. of moles can be calculated by using ideal gas formula

                         PV = nRT

Rearrange the equation for no. of moles

                          n= PV / RT . . . . . . . . . (1)

where

P = pressure

V = Volume

T= Temperature

n = Number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

where

R = 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K

Now put the value in formula (1) to calculate no. of moles of

              n = 1.2 atm x 0.0051 L / 0.08206 L.atm.mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ x 294.3 K

              n = 0.0061 atm.L / 24.162 L.atm.mol⁻¹

              n = 2.525 x 10⁻⁴ mol

no. of moles of gas (H₂O) = 2.525 x 10⁻⁴ mol

_______________

Part B:

Data Given:

  • Temperature of water (H₂) = 21.3°C

Convert Temperature to Kelvin

T = °C + 273

T = 21.3 + 273 = 294.3 K

  • volume of (H₂) gas = 5.2 mL

Convert mL to liter

1000 mL = 1 L

5.2 ml = 5.2/1000 = 0.0052 L

  • Pressure = 1.2 atm
  • no. of moles = ?

Solution

no. of moles can be calculated by using ideal gas formula

                         PV = nRT

Rearrange the equation for no. of moles

                         n= PV / RT . . . . . . . . . (1)

where

P = pressure

V = Volume

T= Temperature

n = Number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

where

R = 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K

Now put the value in formula (1) to calculate no. of moles of

              n = 1.2 atm x 0.0052 L / 0.08206 L.atm.mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ x 294.3 K

              n = 0.0062 atm.L / 24.162 L.atm.mol⁻¹

              n = 2.583 x 10⁻⁴ mol

no. of moles of gas (H₂) = 2.583 x 10⁻⁴ mol
