Pearson · Answer 1

On this item we will use the formula of the ideal gas law which is:

PV = nRT

P = 253.25 kPa

V = 0.25 L

n = 0.10 mol

R = 8.314 kPaLmol^-1K^-1

T = temp in Kelvin = ? K

Work out for T

T = PV / nR

= 253.25 kPa x 0.25 L / 0.10 mol x 8.314kPaLmol^-1K^-1

Temperature = 76.15 K
