AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the volume occupied by 1 g mole of an ideal gas at 356.2K and 1 atm using the ideal gas law. The user initially miscalculated the volume, arriving at 2.92 x 10^-5 m³, but later corrected their mistake to find the correct volume of 29.236 L. Key constants used include Avogadro’s number and the Boltzmann constant. The calculations involve converting units and applying the ideal gas equation accurately. The final result confirms the volume of the gas under the specified conditions.

Homework Statement


A gas obeys the ideal-gas equation of state PV = NkT , where N = nNA is the number of molecules in the volume V at pressure P and temperature T and n is the number of g moles of the gas.
Calculate the volume (in L) occupied by 1 g mole of the gas at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 356.2K

1 atm = 1.013 × 105 N/m2
Avogadro’s constant is 6.02214 × 1023
k = 1.38065 × 10-23 Nm/K.

Homework Equations



P V = N k T
= n NA * k T

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried working it, but the answer I come up with is wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction?

(1.013 x 105 Nm/K)( V ) = (1 x 10-3 kg)(1.38065x10-23 Nm/K)(6.02214 x1023)(356.2 K)

V = 2.92 x10-5 m3
= 2.92 x10-2 L

Well, I reworked the problem and found my mistake. I got this to work out right:
(1.013x10^5)(V)=(356.2)(6.02214x10^23)(1.38065x10^-23)
V=.029236 m^3
V=29.236 L
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
