1. Convert Units
* Temperature: Convert Celsius to Kelvin: 128 °C + 273.15 = 401.15 K
* Pressure: Leave pressure in atmospheres (atm)
2. Ideal Gas Law
The ideal gas law is: PV = nRT
Where:
* P = pressure (atm)
* V = volume (L)
* n = number of moles
* R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L⋅atm/mol⋅K)
* T = temperature (K)
3. Rearrange and Solve for Volume (V)
* V = (nRT) / P
4. Plug in the Values
* V = (5.6 mol * 0.0821 L⋅atm/mol⋅K * 401.15 K) / 9.4 atm
5. Calculate
* V ≈ 19.8 L
Therefore, 5.6 moles of sulfur hexafluoride gas will occupy approximately 19.8 liters at 128 °C and 9.4 atm.
