Answer:
3 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of ethane = 15.0 L
Temperature = 30°C
Pressure = 5.0 atm
Number of moles of ethane = ?
Solution:
PV = nRT
P= Pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K
T = temperature in kelvin
Now we will convert the temperature.
30+273 = 303 K
5.0 atm × 15.0 L = n×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 303 K
75 atm.L = n× 24.87 atm.L/ mol
n = 75 atm.L / 24.87 atm.L/ mol
n = 3 mol
