@sweetburger

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

what about it?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

so n = m/M right

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

n is moles

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

I am trying to solve for V and my gas is CO2 so how would I find the mass? It just me 44.01 g/mol * 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 ??

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

wait could you post your question so i can see what your trying to do.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

It's a thermodynamics problem. I need to solve for V when I have T and P

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

All you have is T and P. No other variables

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

V = mRT/PM

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

we have M and R those are constants

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

And your gas is CO2? correct?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

yes

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Does it say the mass of CO2 you have or anything?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

#2

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

oh so your given n aswell but not M

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

ignore that n

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

that is for something else.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

That is for another equation. The n is not in mols

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Yea i noticed it wasnt moles after reading more. is M representing mass?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

M is g/mol

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

So m is grams?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

yes

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

why can't I use 1mol = 6.022x10^23 ?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

why would you want to convert to the number of atoms?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

i'd use it to solve for grams

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

rather number of molecules*

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

V = mRT/PM

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

Look at page 5

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

originally i wanted to use PV = mRT but I don't know how to find m. The units for this class are weird...

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

you know what I think I just figured it out.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

please share lol

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

wait holdon

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

@sweetburger nvm didn't find it
