Question

A 260 L kiln is used for vitrifying ceramics. It is currently operating at 1235 °C and the pressure is 1.025 atm. How many moles of air molecules are within the confines of the kiln?

Answer 1

Approx. `2` `mol`.

Explanation:

We use the Ideal Gas Equation, and solve for `n`.

`n= (PV)/(RT)=(1.025*atmxx260*L)/(0.0821*L*atm*K^-1*mol^-1)xx1/(1508K)`

`=` `??" mol?"`
