Answer:
P = 133.4 atm
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of helium = 988 g
Volume = 45.0 L
Temperature = 23°C (23+273= 296 K)
Pressure of cylinder = ?
Solution:
Number of moles of helium:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 988 g/ 4 g/mol
Number of moles = 247 mol
Pressure:
PV = nRT
P = nRT/V
P = 247 mol × 0.0821. atm. L/mol. K × 296 K / 45 L
P = 6002.5 / 45 L
P = 133.4 atm
