Answer:
18.9 moles
Explanation:
We have the following data:
V = 50 L
P = 12.4 atm
T= 127°C + 273 = 400 K
R = 0.082 L.atm/K.mol (it is the gas constant)
We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles n of the gas:
PV = nRT
⇒ n = PV/RT = (12.4 atm x 50 L)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 400 K) = 18.9 mol
