Calculate the temperature of 4.0 mol of a gas occupying 5 dm 3 at 3.32 bar. (R = 0.083 bar dm 3 K –1 mol –1 ).

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given:

Number of moles, n = 4

Volume, V = 5 dm³

Pressure, P = 3.32 bar

Universal gas constant, R = 0.083 bar dm³ K^–1 mol^–1

Let the temperature be T.

Then, from ideal gas equation we know that: -

PV = nRT

= 50K

Hence, the temperature of 4.0 mol of a gas occupying 5 dm³ at 3.32 bar is 50K.
