Question 20

Gas Laws

The pressure of two moles of an ideal gas at a temperature of 27°C and volume 10−2m3 is [R = 8.313 J mol−1K−1]

  1. A.4.99 × 105 Nm−2.
  2. B.9.80 × 103 Nm−2.
  3. C.4.98 × 103 Nm−2.
  4. D.9.80 × 105 Nm−2.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: A (4.99 × 105 Nm−2.)

Explanation

PV = nRT, so P = 2 × 8.313 × 300 ÷ 10−2 ≈ 4.99 × 105 N m−2.
