The pressure in the 8.00 L tank with 50.5 grams of chlorine gas at 365 K is 2.66 atm.
What is pressure?
Pressure can be defined as the force acting prpendicular per unit surface.
To calculate the pressure of chlorine gas, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- PV = nRT.................. Equation 1
Where:
- P = Pressure
- V = Volume
- n = number of moles of chlorine gas
- R = Molar gas constant
- T = Temperature
Make P the subject of the equation
- P = nRT/V............ Equation 1
From the question,
Given:
- T = 365 K
- R = 0.0821 L.atm.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹
- V = 8 L
- n = 50.5/(35.5×2) = 0.711 moles
Substitute these values into equation 2
- P = (0.0821×365×0.711)/8
- P = 2.66 atm
Hence, The pressure in the 8.00 L tank with 50.5 grams of chlorine gas at 365 K is 2.66 atm.
