Hey - I'm doing this question (see below) but I don't hav a clue where to start!
A flask with a volume of V, provided with a stopcock, contains ethane gas at a temperature of T_0 and atmospheric pressure p_0. The molar mass of ethane is M. The system is warmed to a temperature of T, with the stopcock open to the atmosphere. The stopcock is then closed, and the flask cooled to its original temperature.
What is the final pressure of the ethane in the flask?
and
How many grams of ethane remain in the flask? Use R for the ideal gas constant.
for the first part i tried relating the initial and final pressures and volumes as a ratio... but that didn't work and since I don't have the volume of the actual gas which changes I can't apply the pV=nCRT equation...
Can someone tell me how to start?
Thanks in advance!
