To find the temperature of an ideal gas, we can use the ideal gas equation:
PV=nRTwhere:
P is the pressure in atmospheres,
V is the volume in liters
(dm3),
n is the number of moles,
R is the gas constant
(0.0821 dm3 atm K−1 mol−1), and
T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Given:
We can rearrange the ideal gas equation to solve for
T :
T=nRPVPlugging in the given values:
T=(2 mol)(0.0821 dm3 atm K−1 mol−1)(4.926 atm)(20 dm3)T=0.1642 dm3 atm mol−198.52 atm⋅dm3T=600 KTo convert the temperature from Kelvin to Celsius, use the conversion formula:
Celsius=Kelvin−273.15For our calculation:
Celsius=600 K−273.15Celsius=326.85≈327∘ CTherefore, the temperature of the gas in degree Celsius is closest to Option B: 327 .
