A 3.90 L sealed vessel under vacuum is filled with 6.40 g of fluorine gas. What is the pressure (in kPa) of the vessel at 25.0 ⁰C ?

Respuesta :

From the ideal gas law, the pressure of the gas is 106 kPa.

First we must obtain the number of moles of the gas;

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mol

Number of moles of F2 = 6.40 g/38 g/mol = 0.168 moles

Using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

P = ?

V = 3.90 L

n =  0.168 moles

T = 25.0 ⁰C + 273 = 296 K

R = 8.314  kPa L K-1 mol-1

Substituting values;

P = nRT/V

P =  0.168 moles × 8.314  kPa L K-1 mol-1 ×  296 K/3.90 L

P = 106 kPa

The pressure of the vessel at a temperature of 25 °C is 106.73 KPa

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of fluorine gas. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of F₂ = 6.40 g

Molar mass of F₂ = 19 × 2 = 38 g/mol

Mole of F₂ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of F₂ = 6.40 / 38

Mole of F₂ = 0.168 mole

Finally, we shall determine the pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume (V) = 3.90 L

Temperature (T) =  25.0 °C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Mole of F₂ (n) = 0.168 mole

Gas constant (R) = 8.314 L.KPa/Kmol

Pressure (P) =?

PV = nRT

P × 3.9 = 0.168 × 8.314 × 298

P × 3.9 = 416.232096

Divide both side by 3.90

P = 416.232096 / 3.90

P = 106.73 KPa

Therefore, the pressure of the vessel is 106.73 KPa
