How many moles of helium gas occupy 22.4 l at 0oC at 1 atm. Pressure

Correct answer: C. 1.0

  • A. 011
  • B. 0.90
  • C. 1.0
  • D. 1.11

Explanation

We can use the ideal gas law to solve this problem. The ideal gas law relates the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and number of moles (n) of an ideal gas:PV = nRTwhere:R is the ideal gas constant (approximately 0.08206 L atm/mol K)T is the temperature in Kelvin (0°C = 273.15 K)We are given:V = 22.4 LP = 1 atmT = 273.15 KWe need to find n (number of moles). Rearranging the ideal gas law and plugging in the values:n = PV / RTn = (1 atm)(22.4 L) / (0.08206 L atm/mol K)(273.15 K)n ≈ 1.00 molTherefore, 1.0 moles of helium gas occupy 22.4 L at 0°C and 1 atm pressure
