1) List the known and unknown quantities.
Sample: O2
Amount of substance: 0.650 mol O2.
Volume: 1.00 L.
Pressure: 20.00 atm.
Ideal gas constant: 0.082057 L * atm * K^(-1) * mol^(-1)
Temperature: unknown.
2) Set the equation.
Ideal gas law.
[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]3) Plug in the known quantities and solve for T.
[tex](20.00\text{ }atm)(1.00\text{ }L)=(0.650\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2)(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})(T)[/tex][tex]T=\frac{(20.00atm)(1.00L)}{(0.650\text{ }mol\text{ }O_2)(0.082057\text{ }L*atm*K^{-1}*mol^{-1})}[/tex][tex]T=374.97\text{ }K[/tex]4) Convert K to ºC.
[tex]ºC=K-273.15[/tex][tex]ºC=374.94-273.15[/tex][tex]ºC=101.81\text{ }ºC[/tex]The temperature of the gas under these conditions is 101.81ºC.
