Scientists make hypothesis in order to make an educated guess on the outcome of the experiment.
STP means standard temperature and pressure which is equivalent to 273 K and 1 atm, respectively. Assuming ideal gas behavior, the solution for this problem is as follows:
PV = nRT
Solve for n,
n = RT/PV
n = (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(273 K)/(1 atm)(1×10⁵ L)
<em>n = 2.24×10⁻⁴ moles</em>
The compound form from propanoic acid and
dimethylamine is 3-(dimethylamino)propanoic acid. Propanoic acid is a liquid
carboxylic acid that has pungent and unpleasant smell resembling to body odor.
Its chemical formula is C2H5C00H. Moreover, dimethylamine is an organic
compound and a secondary amine that is colorless, flammable gas with an ammonia
like odor. Its chemical formula is (CH3)2NH.
