Answer:
P = 0.979 atm
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of methane = 40.8 mol
Volume of container = 1020 L
Temperature = 298 K
Pressure of gas =?
Solution:
According to ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = general gas constant
T = temperature
Now we will put the values,
P = nRT/V
P = 40.8 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 298 K / 1020 L
P = 998.2 atm /1020
P = 0.979 atm
