A glass container was initially charged with 2.00 moles of a gas sample at 3.75 atm and 21.7 °C. Some of the gas was released as the temperature was increased to 28.1 °C, so the final pressure in the container was reduced to 0.998 atm. How many moles of the gas sample are present at the end?

    0.521 moles still present in the container.

    Explanation:

    It is possible to answer this question by using the general gas law, that is:

    PV = nRT

    Where P represents pressure of the gas, v its volume, n moles, R gas constant law and T absolute temperature (21.7°C + 273.15 = 294.85K)

    Replacing with values of the initial conditions of the container, its volume is:

    V = nRT / P

    V = 2.00mol*0.082atmL/molK*294.85K / 3.75atm

    V = 12.9L

    When some gas is released, absolute temperature is 28.1°C + 273.15 = 301.25K, the pressure is 0.998atm and the volume of the container still constant. Again, using general gas law:

    PV / RT = n

    0.998atm*12.9L / 0.082atmL/molK*301.25K = n

    0.521 moles = n

    0.521 moles still present in the container.
