Methane gas is sold in steel cylinders with a volume of 43.8 L containing 5.54 kg. What is the pressure in atmospheres inside the cylinder at a temperature of 293.15 K (20.0 °C)? The molar mass of methane (CH4) is 16.0 g/mol.
Added by Patricia R.
Step 1
First, we need to find the number of moles of methane gas in the cylinder. We can do this by dividing the mass of methane by its molar mass: Number of moles = (mass of methane) / (molar mass of methane) Number of moles = (5.54 kg) / (16.0 g/mol) Since 1 kg = Show more…
