Answer:
0.41 atm
Explanation:
A reaction between liquid reactants takes place at 10.0 °C in a sealed, evacuated vessel with a measured volume of 5.0 L. Measurements show that the reaction produced 13. g of sulfur hexafluoride gas. Calculate the pressure of sulfur hexafluoride gas in the reaction vessel after the reaction. You may ignore the volume of the liquid reactants. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Step 1: Given data
Step 2: Convert "T" to Kelvin
We will use the following expression.
K = °C + 273.15
K = 10.0 °C + 273.15 = 283.2 K
Step 3: Calculate the moles (n) of SF₆
The molar mass of SF₆ is 146.06 g/mol.
13. g × 1 mol/146.06 g = 0.089 mol
Step 4: Calculate the pressure (P) of SF₆
We will use the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
P = n × R × T/V
P = 0.089 mol × (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 283.2 K/5.0 L = 0.41 atm
