Learning A flexible container at an initial volume of 3.10 L contains 3.51 mol of gas. More gas is then added to the container until it reaches a final volume of 17.1 L. Assuming the pressure and temperature of the gas remain constant, calculate the number of moles of gas added to the container.

Answer The number of moles of gas added to the container can be calculated using the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law states that PV=nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of

A chemistry graduate student is given 250. ml of a 1.30M methylamine (CH,NH,) solution. Methylamine is a weak base with K, CH, NH, Cl should the student dissolve in the CH, NH, solution to turn it into a buffer with pH = 11.01? You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn’t change when the CH, NH, Cl is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and round it to 2 significant digits.

Answer: Yes, the chemistry graduate student should dissolve 0.323 moles of CH,NH,Cl in the 1.30M methylamine (CH,NH,) solution in order to turn it into a buffer with pH = 11.01. This can be determined using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Supporting Subsections
