Solution Summary

In this exercise, the volume, the pressure, and the temperature of an ideal gas are given. Students are asked to find the moles and mass of gas in the given volume. Students are also asked to find the new pressure if temperature is changed. Lastly, when the pressure drops, students are asked to find the new number of moles of the ideal gas.
