How many moles of gas must be forced into a 3.5 l ball to give it a gauge pressure of 8.8 psi at 22 ∘c? the gauge pressure is relative to atmospheric pressure. assume that atmospheric pressure is 14.5 psi so that the total pressure in the ball is 23.3 psi .

Answer : The number of moles of gas forced into a 3.5 L ball must be 2.28 moles.

Explanation :

Using ideal gas equation:

where,

P = pressure of gas = 23.3 psi = 1.58 atm

conversion used : (1 atm = 14.7 psi)

V = volume of gas = 3.5 L

T = temperature of gas =

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

Therefore, the number of moles of gas forced into a 3.5 L ball must be 2.28 moles.
