Answer
Step-by-step solution
6 stepsIdentify the given values for .
We are given:
Pressure () = 1.34 atm
Temperature () = 303 K
Density () = 1.77 g/L
Gas constant () = 0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K)Use the ideal gas law rearranged for molar mass.
The ideal gas law is .
We know that the number of moles , where is mass and is molar mass.
Substituting into the ideal gas law: .
Rearranging for density (): .
Solving for molar mass ():Substitute the values and calculate the molar mass.
Rounding to three significant figures:
The molar mass of the gas is .
Identify the given values and convert units for .
We are given:
Volume () = 7240 ft
Pressure () = 745 torr
Temperature () = 21 °C
Conversion: 1 ft = 28.3 L
Gas: Helium (He)
Molar mass of Helium () = 4.00 g/mol
Gas constant () = 0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K)Convert volume from ft to L:
Convert pressure from torr to atm:
Convert temperature from °C to K:
Use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles ().
The ideal gas law is .
Solving for :Convert moles of helium to grams of helium.
Mass () = number of moles () molar mass ()
Rounding to three significant figures:
The mass of helium required is .
