A container with volume 1.77 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.226 g of N2. Assume that the pressure of the gas is low enough for the gas to obey the ideal-gas law to a high degree of accuracy. If the root-mean-square speed of the gas molecules is 178 m/s, what is the pressure of the gas?

Answer:

P=1587.18 Pa

Explanation:

Given that

V= 1.77 L =1.77 x 10⁻³ m³

m = 0.226 g

Vrms= 178 m/s

We know that ideal gas equation

P V = n R T

[tex]n=\dfrac{m}{M}[/tex]

M=Molecular wight of the gas

P M = m R T             -----------1

P=Pressure ,V=Volume  ,n=Moles,R=Gas constant ,T=temperature

[tex]V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}[/tex]         ------2

From above two equation we can say that

[tex]P=\dfrac{m}{V}\times \dfrac{V_{rms}^2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]P=\dfrac{0.266\times 10^{-3}}{1.77\times 10^{-3}}\times \dfrac{178^2}{3}[/tex]

P=1587.18 Pa

The pressure of the gas is 1587.18 Pa
