354.5 g of chlorine gas is held with a fixed volume of 70.0 L. What is the pressure of the gas in atmospheres if it’s temperature is 30.0 C

Respuesta :

Answer: The pressure of the gas in atmospheres is 1.76

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = ?

V = Volume of gas = 70.0 L

n = number of moles = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{354.5g}{71g/mol}=5moles[/tex]

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

T =temperature =[tex]30.0^0C=(30.0+273)K=300.0K[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{nRT}{V}[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{5\times 0.0821Latm/K mol\times 300K}{70.0L}=1.76[/tex]

Thus the pressure of the gas in atmospheres is 1.76
