What volume will 28 grams of nitrogen gas occupy at 27 Celsius and a
pressure of 785 mm Hg?

Sagot :

Answer: [tex]2.49\ m^3[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Mass of nitrogen present [tex]m=28\ g[/tex]

Temperature [tex]T=27^{\circ}C\equiv 300\ K[/tex]

Pressure [tex]P=785\ mm\ \text{of}\ Hg\ \text{or}\ 1.032\ atm[/tex]

The molar mass of Nitrogen [tex]M=28\ g/mol[/tex]

No of moles of nitrogen present

[tex]n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\\n=\dfrac{28}{28}\\\\n=1[/tex]

Using [tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 1.032\times V=1\times 8.314\times 300\\\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{2494.2}{1.032}\\\\\Rightarrow V=2494.2\ L\ \text{or}\ 2.49\ m^3[/tex]
