  • Calculate Moles of Air: Ideal Gas Law Explained
    Here's how to calculate the moles of air in the container:

    1. Ideal Gas Law:

    The ideal gas law describes the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the number of moles (n) of a gas:

    PV = nRT

    Where:

    * R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)

    2. Rearrange for 'n':

    To find the number of moles (n), we rearrange the equation:

    n = PV / RT

    3. Plug in the values:

    * P = 1 atm

    * V = 3 L

    * T = 293 K

    * R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K

    n = (1 atm * 3 L) / (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 293 K)

    4. Calculate:

    n ≈ 0.124 moles

    Therefore, there are approximately 0.124 moles of air in the 3 L container.
