A sample of a gas exerts a pressure of 8.2 atm when confined in a 2.93 dm3 container at 20°C. The number of moles of gas in the sample is?
(R = 0.082 litre atm / deg mole)
  • A.
    1.00
  • B.
    2.00
  • C.
    3.00
  • D.
    4.00
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

PV = nRT
2.93 x 8.2 = 0.082 x 293 xn
∴ n = (2.93 x8.2) / (0.082 x 293)
n = 1
