What is the volume of .00831 mol of gas under ideal conditions if the

pressure is 1.01 atm and the temperature is 25 degrees C?*

Respuesta :

Answer:

Approximately [tex]0.20\; \rm L[/tex].

Explanation:

Convert the temperature of this gas to absolute temperature:

[tex]T = 25\; \rm ^\circ C \approx (25 + 273.15)\; \rm K = 298.15\; \rm K[/tex].

Let [tex]P[/tex] and [tex]V[/tex] represent the pressure and volume of this gas, respectively. Let [tex]n[/tex] represent the number of gas particles in this gas. Let [tex]R[/tex] represent the ideal gas constant. By the ideal gas law:

[tex]P \cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T[/tex].

For this question:

  • [tex]P = 1.01\; \rm atm[/tex] (given,)
  • [tex]T = 298.15\; \rm K[/tex] (from unit conversion,) and
  • [tex]n = 0.00831\; \rm mol[/tex].

Look up the ideal gas constant [tex]R[/tex] that takes [tex]\rm atm[/tex] as the unit for pressure:

[tex]R \approx 0.082057\; \rm L \cdot atm \cdot K^{-1}\cdot mol^{-1}[/tex].

This question is asking for [tex]V[/tex], the volume of this gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation and solve for [tex]V[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned} V &= \frac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{P} \\ &\approx \frac{0.00831\; \rm mol\times 0.0082057\; \rm L \cdot atm \cdot K^{-1}\cdot mol^{-1}\cdot 298.15\; \rm K}{1.01\; \rm atm} \\ &\approx 0.0020\; \rm L\end{aligned}[/tex].
