If you are given an ideal gas with pressure (p) = 259,392.00 pa and temperature (t) = 2.00 oc of 1 mole argon gas in a volume of 8.8 dm3 , calculate r to the correct number of significant figures and units under given condition

 R = 0.064 dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

Explanation:

Explanation:

Data Given:

volume of gas V = 8.8 dm³

no. of mole of gas (n) = 1 mole

Pressure P = 259,392.00 Pa  

Convert Pascal (Pa) to atm (atmospheric pressure)

As

101,325 Pascals = 1 atm

So,

259,392.00 Pa  = 2 atm

Then Pressure (P) = 2 atm

Temperature T = 2.00 °C  

change the temperature from °C to K

As  to convert °C to K the below formula used

                   0°C + 273.15 = 273.15K

So, for 2 °C

                    2°C  + 273.15 =  275.15 K

So,

Temperature T  = 275.15 K

ideal gas constant = ?

formula used for Ideal gases

                            PV = nRT

as we have to find R of the gas:

we will rearrange the ideal gas equation as below:

R = PV / nT (1)

Put value in equation (1)

                 R = 2atm x 8.8 dm³ / 1 mole x 275.15 K

                  R = 17.6 atm. dm³ / 275.15 mol. K

                  R = 0.064 dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

So the value of R is 0.064 dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

and the unit of R (ideal gas constant) is dm³ atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

the right answer is c i just did the question.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
