Question: Is it safe to step into a sealed room that has 1250 moles of gas in 6.0 m cubed of volume at 10 degrees C?
- Is it safe to step into a sealed room that has 1250 moles of gas in 6.0 m cubed of volume at 10 degrees C? what will be the air pressure in that room?
Step by Step Solution
There are 3 Steps involved in it
ANSWER IS To determine if its safe to step into the sealed room and to calculate the air pressure inside we can use the ideal gas law PVnRT Where P is the pressure of the gas in Pascals V is the volume of the gas in cubic meters n is the number of moles of gas R is the ideal gas constant 8314 JmolK T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin Given 1250n1250 moles 60V60 m 10T10 C 28315 K converted to Kelvin First we need to calculate the pressure using the ideal gas law PVnRT 1250mol8314JmolpK28315K60mP60m1250mol8314JmolpK28315K 26234272560PaP60262342725Pa 437237875PaP437237875Pa Now lets convert the pressure from Pascals to atmospheres 1 atm 101325 Pa 437237875Pa101325PaatmP101325Paatm437237875Pa 4314atmP4314atm So the air pressure in ...
