TT = 369369 K

Explanation:

Ozone = 19.419.4g
Molar mass = 4848 g/mol
No. of moles = 19.419.4 g/4848g.mol-1 = 0.40410.4041 moles
Pressure = 18201820 mmHg
P = 18201820 mmHg/760760 mm Hg = 2.39 atm
Volume = 5.12 L
R = 0.08206 atm.L.K-1.mol-1
According to ideal gas law
PVPV = nRTnRT
TT = PVPV/nRnR

TT = (2.39 atm2.39atm x 5.12L5.12L) / (0.40410.4041 moles x 0.08206 atm.L.K-1.mol-10.08206atm.L.K1.mol1)

TT = 369369 K

The temperature in degrees Celsius is 97^@"C"97C.

Explanation:

You will need to use the ideal gas law in order to answer this question. The formula is:

PV=nRTPV=nRT,

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvins.

Determine Moles "O"_3O3

In order to determine the moles of molecular ozone ("O"_3")(O3), you need to divide its given mass by its molar mass (g/mol), which is "47.9997 g/mol O"_3")47.9997 g/mol O3). To do this, multiply the given mass by the inverse of the molar mass (mol/g).

Gas Constant, R

The gas constant is determined by the units used in the question. The pressure is in mmHg, the volume is in liters (L), the quantity is in moles (n), and the temperature is in Kelvins (K).

R=62.363577 L*mmHg*K^(-1)*mol^(-1)

Organize the data:

Known

P="1820 mmHg"

V="5.12 L"

n="0.404 mol"

R=62.363577 L*mmHg*K^(-1)*mol^(-1)

Unknown

T

Solution

Rearrange the equation to isolate T. Insert the data into the new equation and solve.

T=(PV)/(nR)

T=((1820color(red)cancel(color(black)("mmHg")))xx(5.12color(red)cancel(color(black)("L"))))/((0.404color(red)cancel(color(black)("mol")))xx(62.363577 color(red)cancel(color(black)(L))*color(red)cancel(color(black)(mmHg))*K^(-1)*color(red)cancel(color(black)(mol^(-1))))="370. K" or 3.70xx10^2 "K" (rounded to three significant figures)

Convert Temperature from Kelvins to degrees Celsius

Subtract 273.15 from 370^@"C".

"370 K"-"273.15"=97^@"C" (rounded to a whole number)
