Need help with this problem!!! test tommorrow
« on: January 25, 2018, 03:02:46 AM »
Hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN, 27.03 g/mol) is extremely toxic. Levels around 3.2 mg/L can kill a person in about one minute. Suppose a reaction generates 0.0345 atm of HCN gas at 0.00°C in a 15.0 L fume hood. How many milligrams per liter of HCN is this?

Do you know the ideal gas law equation?

Using SI units.

So far ive plugged in PV=nRT

=> (0.0345)15=n(0.08206)(273.15)

but idk what to put or solve for n.

How can you express n?

The mass is to solve, how both connected.

You are on the right track, just calculate n and convert to mass.
