Question 18

Gas Laws

The pressure of 3 moles of an ideal gas at a temperature of 27°C having a volume of 10−3m3 is [R = 8.3 J mol−1 K−1]

  1. A.2.49 × 106Nm−2
  2. B.7.47 × 106 Nm−2
  3. C.2.49 × 105 Nm−2
  4. D.7.47 × 105Nm−2
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (7.47 × 106 Nm−2)

Explanation

P = nRT/V = 3 × 8.3 × 300 ÷ 10−3 = 7.47 × 106 N m−2.
