The answer for the question is answered below.

  • 0.05 moles of air is present i the Erlenmeyer flask

Explanation:

Given:

volume (v) =0.125 L

Pressure (P) =0.985 atm

temperature (t) =20°C =20 + 273 =293 K

To solve:

no of moles (n)

We know;

According to the Avagadros law;

P × V = n × R × T

0.985 × 0.125 = n × 0.0821 × 293

0.123125= n × 24.0553

n = [tex]\frac{0.123125}{24.005}[/tex]

n = 0.05 moles

0.05 moles of air is present i the Erlenmeyer flask
