Question

A 5-liter container holds nitrogen (formula: N_2, molecular weight = 28 grams per mole) at a pressure of 1.2 atmospheres and a temperature of 390 kelvins. What is the amount of nitrogen in the container, in units of grams? Click the icon to view the value and units of gas constant R for Ideal Gas Law.

The amount of nitrogen in the container is g. (Round your answer to two significant digits.)

Explanation / Answer

PV = nRT

P=1.2 atm

V = 5 lt

R =0.0821  atm/mol K

T=390 K

so n= PV/RT = 1.2*5/(0.0821*390)=0.187388 mole

weight = n*M = 28 gram/mole*0.187388 mole = 5.2468846 gram

=5.25 g
