To find the volume of a flask, it was first evacuated so that it contained no gas at all. When 4.40 g of carbon dioxide was introduced, it exerted a pressure of 90 kpa at 27 celcius

Respuesta :

We use ideal gas equation,

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex] ,

[tex]V=\frac{nRT}{P}[/tex]  or [tex]V= (\frac{m}{M}) \frac{RT}{P}[/tex]

Here, V is the volume, P is pressure and T is temperature and  [tex]n=\frac{m}{M}[/tex] , m is the mass and M is the molar mass and R is universal gas constant its value of 8.3144621 L kPa/K mol

Given, [tex]P = 90 \ kPa[/tex] , [tex]T = 27 ^0C = (27 +273) = 300 \ k[/tex] and  [tex]m = 4.40 \ g[/tex].

The molar mass of the carbon dioxide, [tex]M = 44.010 \ g/mol[/tex] .

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

[tex]V = (\frac{4.40 \ g}{44.010 \ g/mol })\frac{8.3144621 L kPa/K mol \times300 \ K }{90 \ kPa} \\\\ V = 2.77 L[/tex].

Thus, the volume of the flask is 2.77 L.


The volume of the gas is 2.76 L.

We have the following information;

pressure =  90 kpa or  0.89 atm

temperature = 27 celcius or 300 K

number of moles = 4.40 g/44 g/mol = 0.1 moles

volume = ?

Now;

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V =  0.1 moles × 0.082 atmLK-1mol-1 × 300 K/ 0.89 atm

V = 2.76 L

The volume of the gas is 2.76 L.
