A12-liter [l] flask contains 1.3 moles [mol] of an ideal gas at a temperature of 20 degrees celsius [degreesc]. what is the pressure in the flask in units of atmospheres [atm]

Given: Volume of flask=12 L

Number of moles of an ideal gas=1.3 mol

Temperature=20°C

Gas is an ideal gas thus, it follows the ideal gas equation as follows:

Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature.

First convert temperature from °C to K as follows:

Thus,

Rearrange ideal gas equation to calculate pressure,

Putting the values,

Therefore, pressure in the flask will be 2.6 atm.

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
