B. A passenger on an airplane finished a 0.5 L bottle of water during the flight
and replaced the lid. The cabin pressure and temperature were maintained at
0.75 atm and 295 K during the flight. After landing, he noticed his empty water
bottle had collapsed. (12 points)

The number of moles of gas that was in the water bottle is 0.015 moles

Ideal gas equation

  • The ideal gas equation gives the relationship between gas volume, pressure, temperature and number of moles
  • The ideal gas equation is given as: PV =nRT

where p = gas pressure

v = volume of gas

n = number of moles of gas

R = molar gas constant

T = temperature

making n subject of the formula

  • n = PV/RT

from the data provided, assuming the gas filled up the water bottle:

  • P = 0.75 atm;
  • V = 0.5 L;
  • T = 295 K;
  • R = 0.082 atmL/K.mol

n = 0.75 * 0.5 / 0.082 * 295

n = 0.015 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of gas that was in the water bottle is 0.015 moles
