1.Easy
n = 5 molV = 25 LT = 110 °CP = ?

A rigid tank holds an ideal gas. Find its pressure P.

n = 5 molV = 25 LT = 110 °CR = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
P = kPa
2.Easy
n = 4 molV = 25 LT = 40 °CP = ?

A rigid tank holds an ideal gas. Find its pressure P.

n = 4 molV = 25 LT = 40 °CR = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
P = kPa
3.Medium
400 g of O₂V = 20 LT = 40 °CP = ?

A tank of 20 L contains 400 g of O₂ at 40 °C. Treat it as an ideal gas and find the pressure P.

m = 400 gM = 32 g/molV = 20 LT = 40 °CR = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
P = kPa
4.Medium
240 g of CO₂V = 20 LT = 100 °CP = ?

A tank of 20 L contains 240 g of CO₂ at 100 °C. Treat it as an ideal gas and find the pressure P.

m = 240 gM = 44.01 g/molV = 20 LT = 100 °CR = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
P = kPa
5.Hard
CO₂, M = 44.01 g/molP = 1000 kPaT = 60 °Cρ = ?

Find the density ρ of CO₂ at 1000 kPa and 60 °C, treating it as an ideal gas.

M = 44.01 g/molP = 1000 kPaT = 60 °CR = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
ρ = kg/m³
6.Hard
