0.13 atm pressure is required to contain 0.644 grams of nitrogen gas ([tex]N_{2}[/tex]) in a 4.2 L container at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
The ideal gas equation, pV = nRT, is an equation used to calculate either the pressure, volume, temperature or number of moles of a gas. The terms are: p = pressure, in pascals (Pa). V = volume, in [tex]m^3[/tex].
Calculating moles of [tex]N_{2}[/tex]:
Moles = [tex]\frac{Given mass}{ molar mass}[/tex]
Moles = [tex]\frac{0.644 }{ 28}[/tex]
Moles = 0.023
Now, using the Ideal Gas Law;
PV=nRT
We can rearrange to solve for pressure:
P=nRT/V
P is pressure, n is the number of moles (0.023), R is a constant (0.08206 L*atm/mol*K), T is the temperature in Kelvin (293.15K) and V is volume, 4.2 L.
So, plugging in;
P=[tex]\frac{(\;0.023\;mol)(0.08206\;L*\;atm\;/\;mol\;*\;K)(\;293.15\;K)}{(\;4.2\; L)}[/tex]
P=0.1317 atm
Hence, 0.13 atm pressure is required to contain 0.644 grams of nitrogen gas ([tex]N_{2}[/tex]) in a 4.2 L container at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
