If 3.31 moles of argon gas occupies a volume of 100 L what volume does 13.15 moles of argon occupy under the same temperature and pressure

Respuesta :

Answer:

397 L

Explanation:

Recall the ideal gas law:

[tex]\displaystyle PV = nRT[/tex]

If temperature and pressure stays constant, we can rearrange all constant variables onto one side of the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{P}{RT} = \frac{n}{V}[/tex]

The left-hand side is simply some constant. Hence, we can write that:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{n_1}{V_1} = \frac{n_2}{V_2}[/tex]

Substitute in known values:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(3.31 \text{ mol})}{(100 \text{ L})} = \frac{(13.15\text{ mol })}{V_2}[/tex]

Solving for V₂ yields:

[tex]\displaystyle V_2 = \frac{(100 \text{ L})(13.15)}{3.31} = 397 \text{ L}[/tex]

In conclusion, 13.15 moles of argon will occupy 397* L under the same temperature and pressure.

(Assuming 100 L has three significant figures.)
