0.41 atm

Explanation:

A reaction between liquid reactants takes place at 10.0 °C in a sealed, evacuated vessel with a measured volume of 5.0 L. Measurements show that the reaction produced 13. g of sulfur hexafluoride gas. Calculate the pressure of sulfur hexafluoride gas in the reaction vessel after the reaction. You may ignore the volume of the liquid reactants. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Convert "T" to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 10.0 °C + 273.15 = 283.2 K

Step 3: Calculate the moles (n) of SF₆

The molar mass of SF₆ is 146.06 g/mol.

13. g × 1 mol/146.06 g = 0.089 mol

Step 4: Calculate the pressure (P) of SF₆

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

P = n × R × T/V

P = 0.089 mol × (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 283.2 K/5.0 L = 0.41 atm
