Mole Concept

Mole concept is a method to determine the amount of any substance that consists of some elemental particles using a grouping unit called ‘mole’. The mole concept enables one to handle the large amount of small elementary particles. The mole concept can be used in many calculations related to mole calculation, molar amount, mole ratio, and so on, which are significant in chemistry.

Question

A tank held at constant temperature contains
compressed air initially at 34.8 atmospheres. After some
air is removed from the tank, the pressure has decreased
to 3.5 atm. What fraction of the original air remains in the
tank? Pressures are gauge pressures.
