What is the volume occupied by 35.4 grams of nitrogen gas at 35 degrees celsius and 735 torr?

Answer : The volume occupied by the nitrogen gas is, 33.06 L

Explanation :

Using ideal gas equation,

where,

P = pressure of nitrogen gas = 735 torr = 0.967 atm

conversion used : (1 atm = 760 torr)

V = volume of nitrogen gas = ?

T = temperature of nitrogen gas =

n = number of moles of nitrogen gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

w = mass of nitrogen gas = 35.4 g

M = molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get  the volume of nitrogen gas.

Therefore, the volume occupied by the nitrogen gas is, 33.06 L

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
