A gas sample in a balloon contains 4.0 moles of gas at a particular pressure, volume and temperature. If your balloon springs a leak and the volume decreases to 1/2 of the original amount before you can plug the leak, how many moles of gas have you lost (temperature and pressure remain the same)?

Explanation:

When volume of gas is V , pressure is P and temperature is T , if n be number of moles of gas

PV / RT = n , R is universal gas constant .

When volume becomes .5 V , pressure P and temperature T

number of moles = Px .5 V / RT = .5 PV / RT = .5 n

Number of moles of gas becomes half .

so 4 moles becomes  2 moles

No of moles lost = 4 - 2 = 2 moles.

answer: at room temperature (roughly 20 degrees c), you can dissolve 203.9 grams (or 200 grams) of sugar in 100 ml of water. as water temperature increases, the amount of sugar that will dissolve increases, up to about 500 grams of sugar in 100 ml water at 100 degrees c.
