Gas is contained in a 9.00-L vessel at a temperature of 24.0°C and a pressure of 5.00 atm. (a) Determine the number of moles of gas in the vessel. mol (b) How many molecules are in the vessel? molecules

a. Moles in the vessel = 1.85 moles of the gas

b. 1.11x10²⁴ molecules are in the vessel

Explanation:

a.It is possible to determine moles of a gas using the general law of gases:

PV = nRT

Where P is pressure: 5.00atm; V is volume = 9.00L; R is gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK; T is absolute temperature: 273.15K +24.0 = 297.15K

Computing the values:

PV / RT = n

5.00atm* 9.00L / 0.082atmL/molK*297.15K = n

b. With Avogadro's number we can convert moles of any compound to molecules thus:

Avogadro's number = 6.022x10²³ molecules / mole

1.85moles ₓ (6.022x10²³ molecules / mole) =

the millers tale is the answer.
