GIVEN:
P = 97.3 kPa
V = 15.0 L
n = ?
T = 21°C = 294 K
R = LkPa/molK
WORK:

The relationship between the amounts of gases (in moles) and their volumes (in liters) in the ideal gas law is used to calculate the stoichiometry of reactions involving gases, if the pressure and temperature are known.
• Relationship between the amounts of products and reactants in a chemical reaction can be expressed in units of moles or masses of pure substances, of volumes of solutions, or of volumes of gaseous substances.
• The ideal gas law can be used to calculate the volume of gaseous products or reactants as needed.
• In the lab, gases produced in a reaction are collected by the displacement of water from filled vessels — the amount of gas can be calculated from the volume of water displaced and the atmospheric pressure.
