Calculate the number of moles of gas in a basketball inflated to a total pressure of 1.65 atm with a volume of 3.2 L at 250C. ( K = oC + 273)

0.123 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 250 °C to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273

K = 250 + 273 = 523 K

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of gas (n)

A gas occupies a container with volume (V) 3.2 L at a temperature (T) of 523 K and pressure (P) of 1.65 atm. We can calculate the number of moles of the gas using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1.65 atm × 3.2 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 523 K = 0.123 mol
