This question concerns the ideal gas law.

Question

Determine the temperature of 0.105 moles of gas in a volume of 1750 mL at 15.0 bar. State your answer in degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

Hi Ivy,

You will want to use the equation PV=nRT for these problems. P is the pressure, V is the volume in liters, n is number of moles, T is the temperature in Kelvin and R is a constant with the value of 0.08206.

You are being asked to calculate the temperature when all other variables are given and R is constant. We can rearrange the equation to T=PV/nR and then solve for T

T = 15(1.750)/0.105(0.08206)

T = 3052.3 K

Hope this helps
