SUMMARY

The volume occupied by 1 g mole of an ideal gas at a temperature of 356.2K and pressure of 1 atm is calculated to be 2.92 x 10-2 L. The calculation utilizes the ideal gas law, represented by the equation PV = NkT, where P is pressure, V is volume, N is the number of molecules, k is Boltzmann's constant, and T is temperature. The correct application of constants, including Avogadro's constant (6.02214 x 1023) and Boltzmann's constant (1.38065 x 10-23 Nm/K), is crucial for accurate results. The final volume is confirmed as 29.236 L after correcting initial miscalculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the ideal gas law (PV = NkT)
  • Familiarity with Avogadro's constant (6.02214 x 1023)
  • Knowledge of Boltzmann's constant (1.38065 x 10-23 Nm/K)
  • Basic algebra for solving equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation and applications of the ideal gas law
  • Learn about the significance of Avogadro's constant in gas calculations
  • Explore real gas behavior and deviations from ideal gas laws
  • Investigate the relationship between temperature, pressure, and volume in thermodynamics
USEFUL FOR

Students in chemistry or physics, educators teaching gas laws, and anyone involved in thermodynamic calculations will benefit from this discussion.

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
