An unknown amount of acetylene gas occupies 12.40 mL. When the amount of this gas is changed to 0.57 mol, its volume is becomes 3.25 mL. Calculate the original amount (mol) of acetylene.

Write out the problem on paper in order to answer the questions related to the setup and the calculation for this problem.

Identify all of the terms in this problem and enter the numerical values (without units) in the appropriate blanks. Convert temperature(s) to K, and enter with proper s.f. If the term doesn't apply in this problem enter 0. Enter a question mark for the variable being calculated. Do not leave any blank empty.

P1 = 

V1 = 

T1=

n1=

P2=

V2=

T2=

n2=

 

Rearrange the gas law equation needed to solve for the variable of interest. Identify which terms are in the numerator and which terms are in the denominator after rearranging. Do not leave any blank empty. Enter a zero "0" if the blank is not needed. Use the following abbreviations: pressures = P1, P2; volumes = V1, V2; temperatures = T1, T2, moles = n1, n2

Terms in the numerator:  ,  

Terms in the denominator: 

 

Calculate the result and enter the value in decimal notation (with proper s.f.) in the first blank and the units in the second blank.
