Given:
The volume of the gas, V=5.0 L
The temperature of the gas, T=251 K
The pressure of the gas, P=370 kPa
The gas constant, R=8.31 L kPa/(mol K)
To find:
The moles of the gas sample.
Explanation:
From the ideal gas equation,
[tex]PV=\text{nRT}[/tex]Where n is the moles of the gas present.
On substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 370\times5.0=n8.31\times251 \\ \Rightarrow n=\frac{370\times5.0}{8.31\times251} \\ =0.9\text{ mol} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The moles of the gas present in the sample is 0.9 mol
