Large amounts of nitrogen gas are used in the manufacture of ammonia principally for use in fertilizer. Suppose 80.00 kg of N2 is stored in a 1000 L metal cylinder at 300 C. Calculate the pressure of the gas, assuming ideal-gas behavior.

Question

anonymous · Answer

PV=nRT
you are already given mass (to find moles), R = constant, temperature and volume, P should be just plug and chug, hope this helps

anonymous · Answer

0.1345 atm?

anonymous · Answer

what is the constant you used? i dont remember it on top of my head

anonymous · Answer

R=0.08206

anonymous · Answer

tnx but how do you get 28.01?

anonymous · Answer

sorry, should be P(1000) = (80/28.01)(300+273)(0.08206)
0.134 atm, so your answer is correct
