1. Convert Temperature to Kelvin
* The ideal gas law requires temperature in Kelvin.
* K = °C + 273.15
* K = 32.0 °C + 273.15 = 305.15 K
2. Ideal Gas Law
* The ideal gas law is: PV = nRT
* P = Pressure (in atmospheres, atm)
* V = Volume (in liters, L)
* n = Number of moles
* R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L⋅atm/mol⋅K)
* T = Temperature (in Kelvin, K)
3. Solve for Pressure (P)
* Rearrange the ideal gas law to solve for P:
* P = (nRT) / V
4. Plug in the Values
* P = (1.80 mol * 0.0821 L⋅atm/mol⋅K * 305.15 K) / 2.92 L
5. Calculate the Pressure
* P ≈ 15.3 atm
Therefore, the pressure exerted by the gas is approximately 15.3 atmospheres.
