A balloon contains 0.950 mol of nitrogen gas and has a volume of 25.5 L. How many grams of N2 should be released from the balloon to bring the volume to 17.3 L

Mass released = 8.6 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial number of moles nitrogen= 0.950 mol

Initial volume = 25.5 L

Final mass of nitrogen released  = ?

Final volume = 17.3 L

Solution:

Formula:

V₁/n₁  = V₂/n₂

25.5 L / 0.950 mol = 17.3 L/n₂

n₂ =  17.3 L× 0.950 mol/25.5 L

n₂ = 16.435 L.mol /25.5 L

n₂ = 0.644 mol

Initial mass of nitrogen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.950 mol × 28 g/mol

Mass = 26.6 g

Final mass of nitrogen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.644 mol × 28 g/mol

Mass = 18.0 g

Mass released = initial mass - final mass

Mass released = 26.6 g - 18.0 g

Mass released = 8.6 g
