Type the correct answer in the box. express your answer to three significant figures. an air mattress is filled with 0.55 moles of air. the air inside the mattress has a temperature of 295 k and an absolute pressure of 3.5 kilopascals. what is the volume of the air mattress? the volume of the air mattress is liters.

Respuesta :

385 L is the volume of the air mattress with 0.55 moles of air inside the mattress and a temperature of 295 K.

What is an ideal gas equation?

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates to the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Using the gas law,

PV=nRT, where n is the moles and R is the gas constant. Then divide the given mass by the number of moles to get molar mass.

Given data:

P= 3.5 kPa

V=?

n= 0.55 moles of air

T= 295K

R= 8.314 (L kPa/mol K)

Putting value in the given equation:

V= [tex]\frac{nRT}{P}[/tex]  

V = [tex]\frac{(0.55 moles)(8.314 L kPa/mol k)(295 K)}{3.5 kPa}[/tex]

V = 385.4132857 L

And whatever the significant figure is asked for, for example, 3 significant figures: the answer would be 385 litres.

Hence, 385.4132857 L is the volume of the air mattress.
