At the end of a dive, Joan's 11.0 L scuba cylinder shows a pressure of 52.0 atm and contains 23.8 moles of gas. What is the temperature, in degrees Kelvin, of the cylinder? Report the answer to one decimal place. ⚫ The temperature of the cylinder is what in K.​



Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the temperature of the cylinder, we can use the Ideal Gas Law equation:

\[ PV = nRT \]

Where:

- \( P \) is the pressure of the gas (in atm)

- \( V \) is the volume of the gas (in liters)

- \( n \) is the number of moles of the gas

- \( R \) is the ideal gas constant (\( 0.0821 \, \text{atm} \cdot \text{L/mol} \cdot \text{K} \))

- \( T \) is the temperature of the gas (in Kelvin)

We are given:

- Pressure \( P = 52.0 \, \text{atm} \)

- Volume \( V = 11.0 \, \text{L} \)

- Moles \( n = 23.8 \, \text{moles} \)

- Ideal gas constant \( R = 0.0821 \, \text{atm} \cdot \text{L/mol} \cdot \text{K} \)

We need to solve for \( T \).

\[ T = \frac{PV}{nR} \]

\[ T = \frac{(52.0 \, \text{atm})(11.0 \, \text{L})}{(23.8 \, \text{mol})(0.0821 \, \text{atm} \cdot \text{L/mol} \cdot \text{K})} \]

\[ T = \frac{572.0}{1.9438} \]

\[ T ≈ 294.3 \, \text{K} \]

Therefore, the temperature of the cylinder is approximately \( 294.3 \, \text{K} \).
