Use the ideal gas law to calculate the volume occupied by 0.400 mol of nitrogen gas at 3.00 atm pressure and at 27°C.R = 0.0821 L * atm/(K*mol).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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. We can rearrange this equation to solve for V: V = nRT/P. Plugging in the given values, we get V = (0.400 mol)(0.0821 L * atm/(K*mol))(27°C + 273.15 K)/3.00 atm = 17.7 L.
