A gas occupies a volume of 67.54 liters at 158°C and 4.87 atm pressure. Calculate the number of moles of this gas.

The number of moles of the gas is 9.295 moles or 9.30 moles

Explanation:

We use PV = nRT

Where P = 4.87 atm;

V = 67.54 L

R= 0.0821Latm/molK

T = 158 C = 158 +273 K = 431 K

the number of moles can be obtained by substituting the values in the respective columns and solve for n

n = PV / RT

n = 4.87 * 67.54 / 0.0821 * 431

n = 328.9198 / 35.3851

n = 9.295moles

The number of moles is approximately 9.30moles.

the answer is d.) potassium
