A gas system has pressure, volume and moles of 3272 torr, 1170mL and 0.365moles, respectively. What is the temperature in C? (1 atm=760 torr; R = 0.08206 L atm/mol K )

Answer 1

PV = nRT

P = pressure (atm); 1 atm / 760 torr = x atm / 3272 torr solve for x atm...4.305 atm

V = volume (L); 1170 mL = 1.170 L

n = moles = 0.365 mol

R = universal gas constant 0.08206 L atm/mol K

T = temperature (deg K) = ?

4.305 x 1.170 = 0.365 x 0.08206 x T

solve for T

T = 1681.6 K convert to deg C = 1408.6 deg C
