using the temperature of air, barometric pressure, and volume of flask, calculate moles of air for each trial.
trial 1: temperature of air: 20.1 deg Celcius, barometric pressure: 742.44 Hg, volume of flask: 285 ml
Trial 2: Temp of air 20.2 deg celcius. Barametric pressure: 742.44 Hg , volume : 285 ml
Trial 1 :
Use ideal gas equation for calculation of mole of gas
Ideal gas equation
PV = nRT where, P = atm pressure= 742.44 mm Hg = 0.9769 atm,
V = volume in Liter = 285 ml = 0.285 L
n = number of mole = ?
R = 0.08205L atm mol-1 K-1 =Proportionality constant = gas constant,
T = Temperature in K = 20.10C = 273.15+ 20.1 = 293.25 K
We can write ideal gas equation
n = PV/RT
Substitute the value
n = (0.9769 0.285)/(0.08205 293.25) = 0.011571199 mole
0.011571199 mole of air
Trial 2 :
Use ideal gas equation for calculation of mole of gas
Ideal gas equation
PV = nRT where, P = atm pressure= 742.44 mm Hg = 0.9769 atm,
V = volume in Liter = 285 ml = 0.285 L
n = number of mole = ?
R = 0.08205L atm mol-1 K-1 =Proportionality constant = gas constant,
T = Temperature in K = 20.20C = 273.15+ 20.2 = 293.35 K
We can write ideal gas equation
n = PV/RT
Substitute the value
n = (0.9769 0.285)/(0.08205 293.35) = 0.0115672545 mole
0.0115672545 mole of air
