What is the pressure of 0.33 moles of nitrogen gas, if its volume is 15.0 L at –25.0oC?

Sagot :

Using the ideal gas law PV =nRTPV=nRT , we find that the pressure will be P =\frac{nRT}{V}P=

V

nRT

 . Then, we'll substitute and find the pressure, using T = -25 °C = 248.15 K and R = 0.0821 \frac{atm\cdot L}{mol \cdot K}

mol⋅K

atm⋅L

 :

P =\frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{(0.33\,\cancel{mol})(0.0821\frac{atm\cdot \cancel{L}}{\cancel{mol \cdot K}})(248.15\,\cancel{K})}{15.0\,\cancel{L}} = 0.4482\,atmP=
