3. methane (ch4) behaves as an ideal gas under standard temperature and pressure conditions. what volume is occupied by 1 kg of methane at a temperature of 35 °c and a pressure of 0.9 atm?

1711.11L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of methane = 1kg = 1000

Temperature of gas = 35°C

Pressure of the gas = 0.9atm

Converting to the temperature to kelvin, we have:

               35+ 273 = 308k

Solution

From the given parameters, we can solve this problem using the ideal gas equation which is combination of the gas laws. It is expressed below:

                                         PV = nRT              .......................(i)

Where P is the pressure of the gas

             V is the volume of the gas

             n is the number of moles

             R is the gas constant

             T is the temperature

Now, from the above parameters, we have two unknowns which are n and V.

To find the number of moles n, we use the expression below:

         number of moles =

        molar mass of methane = 12 + (4x1) = 16g/mol

       Number of moels of methane =   = 62.5mole

Now that we know the number of moles, we can make the unknown Volume the subject of the formula:

                     V =

                     V =   = 1711.11L

answer: a tank of height h is filled with water and sits on the ground. water squirts from a hole at a height y above the ground and has a range r. for two y values, 0 and h, r is zero. determine the value of y for which the range will be a maximum.
