Problem

A steel scuba cylinder has an internal volume of 0.012 m30.012\,\text{m}^3 and is filled with air to an absolute pressure of 2.0×107 Pa2.0\times10^7\,\text{Pa} at 20 ∘C20\,^{\circ}\text{C}. (i) Calculate the number of moles of air contained in the cylinder. (ii) Hence determine the total number of molecules of air in the cylinder, taking Avogadro’s number as 6.02×1023 mol−16.02\times10^{23}\,\text{mol}^{-1}.
