Question

You fill a balloon with 2.50 moles of gas at 22°C at a pressure of 1.62 atm. What is the volume of the balloon? ​

Answer 1

Answer: using the ideal gas law, the answer is 37.4

Answer 2

Use the ideal gas law:

`PV=nRT`

`(1.62\,\mathrm{atm})V=(2.50\,\mathrm{mol})\left(8.314\frac{\rm J}{\mathrm{mol}\cdot\mathrm K}\right)(295.2\,\mathrm K^\circ)`

`\implies V=37.34\,\mathrm L`
