Final answer:

The volume of a 3 mole sample of CO2 at 1700 torr and 37 C can be calculated using the Ideal Gas Law formula, with proper conversions for temperature to Kelvin and pressure to atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the volume of a 3 mole sample of CO2 at a pressure of 1700 torr and temperature of 37 °C can be approached using the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT. To solve this, we need to convert temperature to Kelvin by adding 273 to the Celsius temperature, so 37 °C becomes 310 K, and convert pressure from torr to atm (1 atm = 760 torr). The Ideal Gas Law is rearranged to solve for V (volume):

V = nRT/P

Where n = 3 moles, R = 0.0821 L·atm/K·mol (ideal gas constant), T = 310 K, and P = 1700 torr/760 torr/atm. Inserting the values into the equation, we can calculate the volume:

V = (3 mol × 0.0821 L·atm/K·mol × 310 K) / (1700 torr / 760 torr/atm)

After carrying out the calculation, we obtain the volume of CO2.
