0.1583moles
According to ideal gas equation;
[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]where:
• P is the ,pressure, = 157kPa = 1.55atm
,• V is the volume = 3L
,• R is the Gas constant = 0.08205Latm/molK
,• T is the temperature = 85 + 273 = 358K
Required
n is the number of moles
Substitute the given parameters
[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{PV}{RT} \\ n=\frac{1.55\times3}{0.08205\times358} \\ n=\frac{4.65}{29.3739} \\ n=0.1583moles \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the number of moles of CO that are present in the sample is 0.1583moles
