1. A sample of methane gas collected at a pressure of 1.28 atm and a temperature of 29.0 degrees Celsius is found to occupy a volume of 27.6 liters. How many moles of CH4CH4 gas are in thesample?

Answer:
As Per Given Information
Pressure P = 1.28 atm
Temperature T = 29.0 °C = 29 + 273 = 312K
Volume V = 27.6 L
Ideal gas Constant R = 0.0821 atmL/K mol
We've been asked to find the number of moles of CH4CH4 gas are in given sample .
For finding the number of moles we will use "ideal gas equation "
[tex] \diamond{\boxed{\purple{\bf{PV \: = nRT}}}}\\
\sf\;Put~the~ given~ value~ we ~obtain
\\\sf \twoheadrightarrow \:1.28 \times 27.6 = n \: \times 0.0821 \times 312 \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \:35.328 = n \times 25.6152 \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \:n \: = \frac{35.328}{25.6152} \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \:n \: = 1.37[/tex]
So, the number of moles is 1.4 ( approx) .
Moles be n
[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow PV=nRT[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow n=\dfrac{1.28(27.6)}{0.0821(302)}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow n=\dfrac{35.3}{24.8}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow n=1.42mol[/tex]
