You have 1.366 x 102 mL of oxygen gas (O2) at 7.55 x 102 mm of Hg and 70 oC. What is the mass of the sample in milligrams?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Isn't this a case of PV=nRT?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then just plug in and solve for n

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I forget the unit requirements. Are the units right or does something have to be converted?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's alright in this case. Is the answer 386.89?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you convert the temp to degrees Kelvin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

770.1?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I forget what the ideal gas constant is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure either.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then how did you solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I only have 30 minutes left to answer 10 questions, I'd appreciate rapid help!

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What you are taking a timed test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not a test, just an online assignment and the turn in time cuts off in 30 minutes so I'm pretty pressured right now.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

62.36367=R if volume is in L, temp in degrees Kelvin and pressure in mm of Hg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is R the mass?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

R is the ideal gas constant

OpenStudy (mertsj):

n is the number of moles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question was dismissed because I accidently reset it. Now: You have 4.108 x 102 mL of oxygen gas (O2) at 7.19 x 102 mm of Hg and 23 oC. What is the mass of the sample in milligrams?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That is exactly the same problem with different numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't know how to set it up! Do this one for me so I can follow the steps please?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Change the mL to liters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If a gas has a volume of 7.1 L at a temp of 22 Degrees Celsius and a pressure of 3.1 atm, how many moles of gas are present?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

R=82.05736 Now since you have changed the units the constant has changed. And you have to change the L to ml

OpenStudy (mertsj):

7.1L= 7100 mL 22 degrees Celsius = 295 degrees Kelvin so: \[3.1(7100)=n(82.05736)(295)\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Solve for n
