How many moles of a gas does it take to occupy 230 liters at a pressure

of 1.5 atmospheres and a temperature of 270 K? Use .0821 L-atm/k-mol.

Respuesta :

Answer: n=15.56moles

Explanation:

PV = nRT

where  

P is pressure in atmospheres

V is volume in Liters

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the ideal gas constant = given as (0.0821L -atm/k-mol

PV = nRT

n= PV/RT

n= (1.5 X 230)/ (0.0821  X 270)

n= 15.56 moles
