Equation of state to calculate the pressure of 3.20 mol of CO2 at 481 k in a 4.50 l vessel using the ideal gas equation
Accepted Answer
The ideal gas equation is: PV = nRT, where:
P is the pressure in atmospheres (atm)
V is the volume in liters (L)
n is the number of moles (mol)
R is the ideal gas constant, 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K
T is the temperature in Kelvin (K)
To calculate the pressure, we can rearrange the equation to: P = nRT/V
Plugging in the given values:
P = (3.20 mol)(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(481 K) / (4.50 L)
P = 28.4 atm
