How many moles of gaseous boron trifluoride, BF3, are contained in a 4.3410Lbulb at 788.0K if the pressure is1.220 atm? How many grams of BF3?

Short Answer

Expert verified

After evaluating, we get the required number as5.55 grams (or) 8.19ร—10โˆ’2moles of BF3.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation of the ideal gas law

The pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles of a gas are all related by the ideal gas law.

It is given as

PV=nRT.

P=pressureofthegas.V=volumeofthegas.n=numberofmolesofthegas.T=temperatureofthegas.

R=Idealgasconstant=0.08206Latmmolโˆ’1Kโˆ’1.

The amount of the gas (n)is in moles, temperature (T) is in Kelvin (K), and pressure (P)is in atm.

02

Finding the number of gas moles

Given:

Pressure(P)=1.22atm.Volume(V)=4.341L.Temperature(T)=788Kamountofgas(n)=?moles.

Ideal gas constant (R)=0.08206Latmmolโˆ’1Kโˆ’1.

PV=nRT.

The amount of gas in moles is

(n)=PVRT=(1.22)ร—(4.341)(0.08206)ร—(788)=5.29664.66=0.0819moles.=8.19ร—10โˆ’2moles.

03

Finding the number of grams of boron trifluoride

The atomic weight of boron (B)=10.8$ grams.

The atomic weight of fluorine (F)=19 grams.

So, the molecular weight of BF3=(10.8)+(3)ร—(19)grams.

=10.8+57

=67.8grams.

So, 1 mole of BF3=67.8grams of BF3.

0.0819moles of BF3=(0.0819)ร—(67.8)grams of BF3.

=5.55grams of BF3.

After evaluating, we get the required number as5.55 grams (or) 8.19ร—10โˆ’2moles of BF3.
