A gas occupies 22.4 l at stp and 14.5 l at 100c and 2.00 atm pressure. how many moles of gas did the system gain or lose?
azamat
<span>At standard temperature and pressure 22.4 l of an ideal gas would contain 1 mole. in order to find the change in moles we must look at the ideal gas law PV=nRT where P=Pressure V=volume n=Moles R= Gas constant T= Temperature. To simplify this equation we will be using the gas constant at .08206 L-atm/mol-K. We must first convert 100c to k which is 373.15. Then we can plug the values into our equation which gives us (2atm)(14.5 l)=(n)(.08206 L-atm/mol-K)(373.15). After some basic algebra we get the moles to equal roughly .95 which is .05 moles less than our original system.</span>
