What volume does 0.406 mol of gas occupy at a pressure of 719 mmHg at 59 ∘C?
This problem can be solved on the basis of ideal gas which is combined by Boyle's law Charles law and Avegadro law.
PV=nRT
Where P=pressure of the gas
V=volume
R=gas constant
n= no of moles of gas and
T= absolute temperature in Kelvin
Before applying this formula we have to convert all the terms in to standard states by using the following some equations.
Absolute temperature is equal to given temperature plus 273(remember that this is in Kelvin scale )
oK=273+59=332oC
Pressure=719×133.3 which is for the conversion of mm Hg pressure to Pascal pressure.
Next gas constant =8.314 joul/mole.kelvin
By substituting all these values in ideal gas equation we obtain the required volume as follows
V=0.406×8.314×332/95858
=0.01169m3
