Homework Statement


Hello Everyone!
I am solving a lots and lots of questions on Mole Concept but i am getting stuck in this:-

Calculate the volume occupied by 5.25g of nitrogen at 26[itex]\circ[/itex] C and 74.2 cm of pressure.

The Attempt at a Solution


I actually don't know from where should i start. I have done questions when the conditions are at STP but i have never done a question like this.

Thanks! :smile:

start by the fact that one mole of any gas at 273K and 1 bar pressure occupies 22.7L volume

Thanks for your reply Piyush!
I thought of starting by this but i am not able to think of the next step. :confused:
 
This is direct application of ideal gas equation, PV=nRT. The only problem is with units of the pressure - is it cm (which doesn't make sense to me), or cm Hg?

So what should be the unit? :confused:
 
Borek said:
cm Hg most likely. Close relative of mmHg, or torr.

Thanks for your help Borek! :smile:

I am having many questions to solve in mole concept (almost a full book). If i get any doubts, can i post them in this thread one by one? :smile:
 
In general you should start a new thread with each one. But there is a catch - if you start several at once, that's wrong as well.

Let's hope you will be able to deal with most of the questions on your own :wink:
