Collin Walton · Answer 1

Option (C) 1.30 moles

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume (V) = 20L

Temperature (T) = 373K

Pressure (P) = 203 kPa

Gas constant (R) = 8.31 L. kPa/mol. K.

Number of mole (n) = ... ?

The number of mole of the gas in the container can obtained by applying the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by RT

n = PV / RT

n = 203 x 20 / 8.31 x 373

n = 1.30 mole.

Therefore, 1.30 mole of the gas is present in the container.
