1. How many moles of O2 gas are in 5.0L container of 4.0 atm and 288K?
Calculating Moles of Gas with Ideal Gas Law
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The Ideal Gas Law formula, PV = nRT, is utilized to calculate the number of moles of O2 gas in a 5.0L container at 4.0 atm and 288K. By rearranging the formula to solve for n (number of moles), the calculation yields n = PV/RT. Substituting the values, where R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol)), results in approximately 0.81 moles of O2 gas.
