Answer

0.9166 g CO

Procedure

Considering the conditions and parameters given ideal gas law will be assumed.


PV=nRT

The gas constant is 8.3144 L⋅kPa⋅ K⁻¹⋅mol⁻¹

Converting the current data to the required units

710 mL = 0.710 L

37 °C = 310.15 °K

Solving for moles and substituting the variables with the available data


n=(PV)/(RT)=\frac{119\text{ }kPa(0.710)L}{8.3144\text{ L. kPa\cdot}\degree\text{K^^^^207b^^b9\cdot mol^^^^207b^^b9 \lparen310.15\rparen }\degree K}=0.0327\text{ }moles\text{ CO}

Transforming from moles to grams using the molecular weight


0.0327\text{ }moles\text{ }CO\frac{28.01\text{ }g}{1\text{ }mole}=0.9166\text{ }g\text{ }CO
