States of Matter - Result Question 38
####38. The pressure exerted by $6.0 g$ of methane gas in a $0.03 m^{3}$ vessel at $129^{\circ} C$ is (Atomic masses : $C=12.01, H=1.01$ and $R=8.314 JK^{-1} mol^{-1}$ )
(a) $31684 Pa$
(b) $215216 Pa[2010]$
(c) $13409 Pa$
(d) $41648 Pa$
Show Answer
Solution:
(d) $P=\frac{n R T}{V}=\frac{w}{m} \frac{R T}{V}$
$=\frac{6}{16.05} \frac{\times 8.314 \times 402}{0.03} \simeq 41648 Pa$
