QUESTION:
Given that 6.9 moles of carbon monoxide gas are present in a container of volume \(30.4 \mathrm{~L}\), what is the pressure of the gas (in atm) if the temperature is \(62^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)?
ANSWER:Here we have to calculate the pressure of the gas (in atm).
Step 1 of 2
Given:
Number of moles (n) of carbon monoxide gas present =6.9 moles
Volume \((\mathrm{V})=30.4 \mathrm{~L}\)
Temperature \((\mathrm{T})=62^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=273+62=335 \mathrm{~K}\)
According to ideal gas equation, it is known that
\(P V=n R T\)
Where \(\mathrm{P}=\) pressure in atm
\(\mathrm{V}=\) volume in \(\mathrm{L}\)
\(\mathrm{n}=\) number of moles
\(\mathrm{R}=\) gas constant \(=0.0821 \mathrm{~L} \operatorname{atm} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\)
\(\mathrm{T}=\) temperature in kelvin.
