Answer:
PV=nRT
n = PV/RT
n = m/Mm
m/Mm = PV/RT
m = MmPV/RT
T in kelvin = T Celsius + 273.15 = 293.15 K
m = (26.04 x 1.39 x 55)/(0.08206 x 293.15)
mass in grams = 82.8 grams
Explanation:
Ideal gases formula is PV=nRT, where:
P is the pressure (1.39 atm in this case)
V is the volume (55.0 L in this case)
R is the gas constant (0.08206 L.atm/K.mole)
T is the temperature (20.0C) should be converted to Kelvin
all the unit should correspond to the one in the R.
we also know that to find the mass, we can use number mole with the formula number of mole(n) = mass (m) divided by the molar mass (Mm). therefore we substituted that in the formula and make (m) the subject of the formula.
we found the mass to be 82.8 grams
