What is the temperature of 0.750 mol of a gas stored in a 6,850 mL cylinder at 2.21 atm? A: 2.95 K
 B:5.24 K
C:138 K
 D:246 K

Respuesta :

D is the correct answer

Option D: 246 K

According to ideal gas law:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex] ...... (1)

Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature of the gas. The value of R is [tex]0.082 atm L K^{-1}mol^{-1}[/tex].

Number of moles of gas are 0.750 mol, volume of cylinder is 6850 mL and pressure of gas is 2.21 atm.

First converting volume from mL to L

[tex]1 mL=10^{-3}L[/tex]

Thus,

6850 mL=6.850 L

Putting the values in equation (1),

[tex](2.21 atm)(6.850 L)=(0.750 mol)(0.082 atm L K^{-1}mol^{-1}T[/tex]

Rearranging

[tex]T=\frac{(2.21 atm)(6.850 L)}{(0.750 mol)(0.082 atm L K^{-1}mol^{-1})}=246 K[/tex],

Therefore, temperature of the gas is 246 K.
