Four moles of nitrogen gas are contained in an enclosed cylinder with a movable piston. If the gas temperature is 298 K, and the pressure is 1.01 *10⁶ N/m², what is the volume? (R = 8.31 J/mol·K) A) 9.81 *10^-³m³ B) 4.90 *10^-³ m³ C) 17.3 *10^-³m³ D) 8.31 *10^-³ m³

The ideal gas law is PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature. Solving for V, we get V = nRT/P. Plugging in the given values, we get V = (4 mol)(8.31 J/mol·K)(298 K)/(1.01 × 10^6 N/m^2) = 9.81 × 10^-3 m^3.
