Nitrogen gas is filled in a container of volume 2.32 L at 32°C and 4.7 atm pressure. Calculate the number of moles of the gas.
Given :
V = 2.32 L,
P = 4.7 atm,
T = 32°C = 32 + 273.15 K
= 305.15 K
R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1
To find :
n = number of moles of gas
Formula :
PV = nRT
Calculation :
According to ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
∴ n = \(\frac{PV}{RT}\)
= \(\frac{4.7\times 2.32}{0.0821 \times 305.15}\)
= 0. 435 moles
∴ Number of moles of N2 gas in the given volume is 0.435 moles.
