The pressure gage on a 2.5-m3 oxygen tank reads 500 kPa. Determine the amount of oxygen in the tank (mass in kg) if the temperature is 28°C and the atmospheric pressure is 97 kPa.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]n=5.36kg[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Volume [tex]V=2.5m^3[/tex]

Pressure[tex]\rho=500Kpa[/tex]

Temperature [tex]T=28^o[/tex]

Atmospheric pressure [tex]\rho_{atm} =97 kPa.[/tex]

Generally the equation for an Ideal gas is mathematically given by

 [tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]n=\frac{500*2.5}{8.314*28}[/tex]

 [tex]n=5.36kg[/tex]
