How many moles of hydrogen (H2) fill a weather balloon whose volume is 250 L at a pressure of 0.96 atm with a temperature of -10.0 degrees Celsius

Answer:

[tex]n=11.1mol[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the ideal gas equation which allows us to understand the pressure-volume-mole-temperature behavior of hydrogen gas:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

Thus, solving for the moles, we obtain:

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

We cannot forget that the temperature should be used in absolute units (Kelvins), therefore, the resulting moles turn out:

[tex]n=\frac{0.96atm*250L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(-10.0+273.15)K} \\\\n=11.1mol[/tex]

Best regards.
