3. At 34.0°C, the pressure inside a nitrogen-filled tennis ball with a volume of 148 cm3 is 212 kPa. How many moles of N2 are in the tennis ball?

0.0123 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 34.0 °C to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 34.0 + 273.15 = 307.2 K

Step 2: Convert 148 cm³ to L

We will use the conversion factors:

Step 3: Convert 212 kPa to atm

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 101.325 kPa.

212 kPa × 1 atm / 101.325 kPa = 2.09 atm

Step 4: Calculate the moles of nitrogen gas

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 2.09 atm × 0.148 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 307.2 K = 0.0123 mol

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
