Answer :
Answer and Explanation:
For computing the initial quantity of helium we have to apply the law of ideal gas which is shown below:
[tex]pV=nRT\[/tex]
[tex]n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}[/tex]
Now we have to compute the ratio between the initial and the final numbers of moles which is
[tex]\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{p_1V_1}{RT_1}}{\dfrac{p_2V_2}{RT_2}}[/tex]
The statement defines that
[tex]T_1=T_2,~p_1=p_2.[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{n_1}{3.8\times10^{-4}}=\dfrac{230}{860}\iff\\\\ n_1=\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-4}\times230}{860}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{n_1\approx1.0\times10^{-4}~mol}[/tex]
And, the variables are known is starting volume and ending gas quantity
Answer:
beginning volume and ending quantity of gas
