If 1.20 moles of an ideal gas occupy a volume of 18.2 l at a pressure of 1.80 atm, what is the temperature of the gas, in degrees celsius?

We can calculate for temperature by assuming the equation for ideal gas law:

P V = n R T

Where,

P = pressure = 1.80 atm

V = volume = 18.2 L

n = number of moles = 1.20 moles

R = gas constant = 0.08205746 L atm / mol K

Substituting to the given equation:

T = P V / n R

T = (1.8 atm * 18.2 L) / (1.2 moles * 0.08205746 L atm / mol K)

T = 332.70 K

We can convert K unit to ˚C unit by subtracting 273.15 to Kelvin, therefore

T = 59.55 ˚C
