  • Calculating Moles of Gas: A Step-by-Step Guide Using the Ideal Gas Law
    Here's how to solve this problem using the ideal gas law:

    1. Convert units:

    * Temperature (T): 95 degrees Celsius to Kelvin: 95 + 273.15 = 368.15 K

    * Pressure (P): 748 torr to atmospheres: 748 torr / 760 torr/atm = 0.984 atm

    * Volume (V): 263 mL to liters: 263 mL / 1000 mL/L = 0.263 L

    2. Ideal Gas Law Equation:

    The ideal gas law is: PV = nRT

    * P = pressure (atm)

    * V = volume (L)

    * n = number of moles

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

    * T = temperature (K)

    3. Solve for n (number of moles):

    n = PV / RT

    n = (0.984 atm * 0.263 L) / (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 368.15 K)

    n ≈ 0.0085 moles

    Therefore, there are approximately 0.0085 moles of gas in the flask.
