A 10.0 mL syringe contains 0.10 g of nitrogen gas at 0.0 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure inside the syringe?

Respuesta :

Since the sample inside the syringe is a gas, we assume that it is an ideal gas that is we use the expression PV = nRT. We can easily calculate the pressure as follows:

n = m /MM = 0.10 / 28 = 0.0036 mol

P = nRT / V = 0.0036(0.08206)(273.15) / 0.010
P = 8 atm

Answer:

The correct answer is 8.0 atm.
