A 260 L kiln is used for vitrifying ceramics. It is currently operating at 1235 °C and the pressure is 1.025 atm. How many moles of air molecules are within the confines of the kiln?

Approx. 22 molmol.

Explanation:

We use the Ideal Gas Equation, and solve for nn.

n= (PV)/(RT)=(1.025*atmxx260*L)/(0.0821*L*atm*K^-1*mol^-1)xx1/(1508K)n=PVRT=1.025atm×260L0.0821LatmK1mol1×11508K

== ??" mol?"?? mol?
