Question

What volume in liters is occupied by 8.22 g of SO2 gas confined at a pressure of 1200 torr at 75.0C?

R = 0.0821 liter atm/mol K

a. 0.499

b. 4.22 101

c. 2.32

d. 32.1

Answer 1

To calculate the volume in liters occupied by a gas, we can use the ideal gas law equation PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume in liters occupied by a gas, we can use the ideal gas law equation: PV = nRT. Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, we are given the pressure of 1200 torr, the temperature of 75.0°C (which needs to be converted to Kelvin by adding 273.15), and the mass of the SO2 gas which we can use to calculate the number of moles.

Once we have the number of moles, we can rearrange the ideal gas law equation to solve for V, which will give us the volume in liters.
