Analytical Accountant Balancing the Books with Precision
PV=nRT
Where:
P is the pressure (in atmospheres, atm)
V is the volume (in liters, L)
n is the number of moles of the gas
R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L⋅atm/K⋅mol0.0821L⋅atm/K⋅mol)
T is the temperature (in Kelvin, K)
You have the following information:
Moles (n) = 3.50 mol
Volume (V) = 10.00 L
Temperature (T) = 45.0 °C = 318.15 K (Note: Temperature must be in Kelvin)
Now, plug these values into the ideal gas law and solve for P.
⋅10.00 L=(3.50 mol)⋅(0.0821 L⋅atm/K⋅mol)⋅318.15 KP⋅10.00L=(3.50mol)⋅(0.0821L⋅atm/K⋅mol)⋅318.15K
Now, calculate the pressure (P):
=(3.50 mol)⋅(0.0821 L⋅atm/K⋅mol)⋅318.15 K10.00 LP=10.00L(3.50mol)⋅(0.0821L⋅atm/K⋅mol)⋅318.15K
P ≈ 8.95 atm
So, the pressure of the gas is approximately 8.95 atmospheres.
