The ideal gas law describes the state of a hypothetical ideal gas, i.e., PV = nRT where P is the pressure in Pascal, V is the volume in liters L, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature in kelvin K, and n is the amount of substance. Suppose a researcher has n = 0.654 moles of neon gas. He observed that T and V are increasing at rates of 3 K/min and 2 L/min, respectively, using the fixed gas constant R = 8.31 J/K.mol, find the rate at which the pressure is changing when V = 12.3 L and T = 447K.arrow_forwardThe Moon's density is 3.3 kg/L.
