Answer:
15.5 moles
Explanation:
Applying,
PV = nRT.................. Equation 1
Where P = pressure, V = Volume, n = number of mole, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.
Make n the subject of the equation
n = PV/RT............... Equation 2
From the question,
Given: P = 0.899 atm, V = 425 L, T = 24 °C = (273+24) K = 297 K.
Constant: R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol
Substitute these values into equation 2
n = (0.899×425)/(297×0.083)
n = 15.5 moles
