A cylinder contains 26.5 L of oxygen gas at a pressure of 1.7 atm and a temperature of 280 K. How much gas (in moles) is in the cylinder?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "1.96 mol".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Volume,

V = 26.5 L

Pressure,

P = 1.7 atm

Temperature,

T = 280 K

Now,

The number of moles (n) will be:

= [tex]\frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{1.7\times 26.5}{0.0821\times 280}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{45.05}{22.988}[/tex]

= [tex]1.96 \ mol[/tex]
