What pressure will be exerted by 10 moles of hydrogen gas in a 7.5 L cylinder at 20°C?(Given: R = 8.314 L∙kPa/K∙mol)
3248 kPa
24360 kPa
324.8 kPa
24.36 kPa
0.2436 kPa

Respuesta :

the first one  is what i got

Answer:

The value of the pressure will be 3248 kPa.

Explanation:

Let the pressure exerted by the gas be P

The volume occupied by the gas = V = 7.5 L

Temperature of the gas = T =20°C = 293 K

(0°C = 273 K)

Number of moles of gases = 10 mol

Using an ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV =nRT[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{10 mol\times8 .314 L kPa/K mol \times 293 K}{7.5 L}[/tex]

P = 3248.0026 kPa ≈ 3248 kPa

The value of the pressure will be 3248 kPa.
