Considering the ideal gas law, the pressure of 0.76 moles of methane that occupies 2800 cm³ at a temperature of 290 K is 654.012 kPa.
Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.
The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:
P×V = n×R×T
where
In this case, you know:
Replacing in the ideal gas law:
P× 2.8 L = 0.76 moles× 0.082 [tex]\frac{atmL}{molK}[/tex]× 290 K
Solving:
P = (0.76 moles× 0.082 [tex]\frac{atmL}{molK}[/tex]× 290 K)÷ 2.8 L
P= 6.4546 atm= 654.012 kPa (being 1 atm= 101.325 kPa)
Finally, the pressure of 0.76 moles of methane that occupies 2800 cm³ at a temperature of 290 K is 654.012 kPa.
