Belinda Richard · Answer 1

The correct answer is b) 2.01 moles

Explanation:

We use the formula PV=nRT. The normal conditions of temperature and pressure are 273K and 1 atm, we use the gas constant = 0, 082 l atm / K mol.

1 atm x 45 l = n x 0, 082 l atm/K mol x 273 K

n = 1 atm x 45 l / 0, 082 l atm/K mol x 273 K

n = 2, 010184937 mol
