Activity 1

1. A 2.3 moles of helium gas are at a pressure of 1.70

atm, and the temperature is 41 C. What is the
volume of the gas?
Given:
n=2.3 mol
P=1.70atm
T=41C
=0.08206 L-atm/Mol-K
Soln.
1.7atm (V)=2.3mol(0.08206L-atm/Mol-K)(41+273)K
V=34.861L

2. At a certain temperature, 3.24 moles of CO2 GAS AT

2.15 atm take up a volume of 35.28L. What is the
Temperature in oF?
Soln:
PV=n T
2.15atm(35.28L)=3.24Mol(0.08206 L-atm/Mol-K)(T)
T=285.293-273
T=12.293 C
T= (12.293 X 9/5)+32
T=54.127 F
3. What is the mass of methane gas contained in a
60m3 tank if the pressure and temp are 25Psia and
25 oC respectively?
M of methane
C=12x1=12
H4=1x4=4
M of methane =16 g/mol

4. The temperature of a Acetylene is 15oC and it has a
pressure of 17Psia. What is the mass of the
Acetylene if its contained in a 40 m3 tank?
Soln:
M of Acetylene = C2H2
C2=12 X 2 =24
H2=1X2=2
M of Acetylene = 26 Kg/Kmol
