An engineer pumps 5.00 mol of carbon monoxide gas into a cylinder that has a capacity of 20.0L. What is the pressure In kPa of gas inside the cylinder at 25 °C?

*use the ideal gas law*

The pressure of the cylinder is 619.1 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the pressure, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

where,

P = pressure of the gas = ?

V = Volume of the gas = 20.0 L

T = Temperature of the gas =

R = Gas constant =

n = number of moles of CO gas = 5.00 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the pressure of the cylinder is 619.1 kPa
