Can you find the Pressure (kPa) in a gas when you know the number of moles and the absolute temperature?
pV=nRT, this is the equation of state for an ideal gas. You can see that you also need to know the volume of the gas, then you can calculate the pressure:
p = nRT/V
If, you know the pressure of that gas and that amount of moles at a certain temperature, you can use a shortcut.
Say, one mole of a gas exert a pressure of 101600 Pa at 298 K. You need to find the pressure at 273 K.
So, you get:
Solve and you're done.
