We are asked to find the pressure of N2 at the given conditions. Since moles, volume and temperature are given, we will use the ideal gas equation to calculate for pressure.
P = pressure, atm
V = volume, L
n = moles, mol
R = gas constant = 0.08206 (L·atm)/(mol·K)
T = temperature, K
A 0.316 mol sample of nitrogen gas, N 2 (g), is placed in a 4.00 L container at 315 K.
What is the pressure, in Torr, of the nitrogen gas? Express the answer using 3 significant figures.
