Question

Determine the volume (in liters) of a 87.8-9 sample of OF2 gas at 307 torr and 264°C.

Answer 1

V = 177.4 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this gas can be assumed as ideal due to the given data, we can use the following equation:

`PV=nRT\\\\PV=(m)/(MM)RT`

Thus, by solving for volume we obtain:

`V=(mRT)/(MM*P)`

So we can plug in the temperature in Kelvins (537 K), the pressure in atmospheres (0.404 atm) and the molar mass (54 g/mol) to obtain:

`V=(87.8g*0.08206(atm*L)/(mol*K)*537K)/(54g/mol*0.404atm)\\\\V=177.4L`

Best regards!
