Answer:

V = 11 L

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing value, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law. The equation looks like this:

PV = nRT

In this formula,

----> P = pressure (atm)

----> V = volume (L)

----> n = number of moles

----> R = constant (0.0821 atm*L/mol*K)

----> T = temperature (K)

You have been given all of the values in the correct units. Therefore, you can plug these values into the equation and simplify to find volume. The answer should have 2 sig figs to match the given value with the lowest amount of sig figs.

PV = nRT

(9.4 atm)V = (4.5 moles)(0.0821 atm*L/mol*K)(286 K)

(9.4 atm)V = 105.6627

V = 11 L
