Question

You have a Nitrogen gas tank that is 780 mm tall and 204 mm in diameter (measured with a ruler marked to a precision of millimeters). You measure the pressure of the gas in the tank to be 13.8 MPa, using a meter that is precise to within 5%. The temperature of the room is 20.2 degrees Celsius. Let's do the physics: Several state variables for gasses include pressure (p), volume (V), temperature (T), and number of molecules (n). These variables can be related by an equation of state; the Ideal Gas Law: $pV = nRT$ The constant R is the gas constant; it has a value of 8.314 J/mol K. The ideal gas law makes the following assumptions: • The gas atoms / molecules are point masses (i.e. they have no volume) • The gas atoms / molecules do not interact with each other • Collisions between the gas atoms / molecules and the walls of the container do not result in rotation of the gas atom / molecule

Data Set 3 corresponds to an Ideal gas of (n = 1 mole) which obeys the following equation. PV = nRT Where P is the pressure measured in Pa, V is the volume measured in m^3, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the Gas constant = 8.314J/mol°K, and T is the Gas temperature in Kelvin assumed constant. Data Set 3 Pressure Pa | Volume m³ 101000 | 0.0249 111000 | 0.0228 121000 | 0.0213 131000 | 0.0197 141000 | 0.0179 151000 | 0.0169 161000 | 0.0155 171000 | 0.0146 181000 | 0.0139 191000 | 0.0132 Plot P vs. V and comment on the type of relationship between these quantities. Plot P vs. V⁻¹ and determine the slope of the best fit line. Use this slope to infer the temperature T of the ideal gas. Estimate the uncertainty in your best fit line and use this to infer the uncertainty in the temperature T.

Calculate the number of moles of air molecules trapped in your flask using the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT). Remember to watch your units, and that R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1 = 0.0821 atm L mol-1 K-1 = 0.0831 bar L mol-1 K-1. Show your work for the above calculation. ANSWERED: Number of moles of air molecules? P= 100.7 kPa T= 275.85 V=20 mL Changing units: V= 20 x 10^-3 L P= 100.7/100= 0.9938 atm PV= nRT PV/RT=n 0.9938x20x10^-3/0.0821x275.85 = 8.776x10^-4 moles= n

00:01 Hello everyone.
00:02 So here in this question, it is given that pv is equals to nrt and this t is assumed to be constant.
00:12 So from this we can say that pv is equals to a constant value.
00:18 So p will be inversely proportional to v.
00:21 Now the first question, we have to draw p versus v graph.
00:27 It can be seen that p is inversely proportional to v.
00:31 So if we have to draw p versus v graph, it will come out to be a rectangular hyperbola.
00:39 So this will be a pv graph...
