One mole of an ideal gas has a volume of 0.0224 m³ and a pressure of 101.3 × 10³ Pa. What is the absolute temperature of the gas? A) 273 K B) 325 K C) 346 K D) 352 K E) 376 K

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absolute temperature can be calculated using the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K)), and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Given P = 101.3 × 10^3 Pa, V = 0.0224 m^3, and n = 1 mol, solving for T gives T = PV/(nR) = (101.3 × 10^3 × 0.0224) / (1 × 8.314) ≈ 273 K.
