an oxygen tank used for scuba diving has. avolume of 12.0 L .If the pressure of the tank is known to be 204.047 atm and the temperature is 22.0 C(295 K), how many moles of oxygen are contained in the tank

Respuesta :

Answer: 101 moles of oxygen are contained in the tank

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = 204.047  atm

V = Volume of gas = 12.0 L

n = number of moles  = ?

R = gas constant =[tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T =temperature =[tex]22.0^0C=(22.0+273)K=295K[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{204.047atm\times 12.0L}{0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 295K}=101moles[/tex]

Thus 101 moles of oxygen are contained in the tank
