Chemistry How to Calculate Equivalent Gas Volumes Using Avogadro's Law?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the equivalent gas volumes using Avogadro's Law, the ideal gas law equation PV = nRT is essential. The problem involves finding the volume of CH4 at 0°C and 1.00 atm that equals the number of molecules in 0.58 L of N2 at 35.0 °C and 1.50 atm. A common mistake is miscalculating the number of moles when applying the equation. It's important to focus on the ratio of the two gases rather than needing a specific value for the gas constant R. Understanding these principles will lead to the correct solution.

Homework Statement


What volume of CH4 at 0°C and 1.00 atm contains the same number of molecules as 0.58 L of N2 measured at 35.0 °C and 1.50 atm?


Homework Equations


I think you just need to use Avogadro's Number and multiply by the molar mass?
I guess my question is what equation would you use?

The Attempt at a Solution


I haven't attempted the question due to lack of an equation.

You are probably looking for PV = nRT
 
thank you. i was trying that formula but was plugging in the wrong number for moles.
 
Remember you are doing the ratio of two of these, so you don't actualy need a value for R
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
