Capitolo 18, Problema 1a

A 20.020.0-L tank contains 4.86×10−44.86\(\times\)10^{-4} kg of helium at 18.018.0°C. The molar mass of helium is 4.004.00 g/mol. How many moles of helium are in the tank?

First, convert the mass of helium from kilograms to grams. Since 1 kg = 1000 g, multiply 4.86 * 10^-4 kg by 1000 to get the mass in grams.
Next, use the molar mass of helium to find the number of moles. The molar mass of helium is 4.00 g/mol. Use the formula: \( \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{mass in grams}}{\text{molar mass}} \).
Substitute the mass of helium in grams and the molar mass into the formula to calculate the number of moles.
Ensure that the units are consistent and correctly cancel out, leaving you with the number of moles.
Review the calculation to ensure accuracy and understanding of the relationship between mass, molar mass, and moles.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Ideal Gas Law

The Ideal Gas Law is a fundamental equation in physics that relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas. It is expressed as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. This law is crucial for calculating the number of moles of a gas when other properties are known.

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is used to convert between the mass of a substance and the number of moles. For helium, the molar mass is 4.00 g/mol, which allows us to determine the number of moles from a given mass of helium by dividing the mass by the molar mass.
