The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
To solve this question, we'll use the Ideal Gas Law, which is given by the formula:
\[PV = nRT\]
Where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin.
First, let's convert the given temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:
\[T = 273 + 273 = 546\,\text{K}\]
Next, we'll use the given values and the Ideal Gas Law to find the number of moles:
\[4\,\text{atm} \times 10\,\text{dm}^3 = n \times 0.0821\,\frac{\text{atm}\cdot\text{dm}^3}{\text{mol}\cdot\text{K}} \times 546\,\text{K}\]
Solve for n:
\[n = \frac{4\,\text{atm} \times 10\,\text{dm}^3}{0.0821\,\frac{\text{atm}\cdot\text{dm}^3}{\text{mol}\cdot\text{K}} \times 546\,\text{K}} \approx 0.89\,\text{mol}\]
Therefore, the number of moles of the gas present is approximately 0.89 mol, which corresponds to Option A.

PV = nRT
R = 0.08206(gas constant)
T = 273 + 273 = 546k(kelvin)
Therefore, n = PV/RT
n = 4 x 10/ 546 x 0.08206 = 0.8869, approx. 0.89mol
