Question

Determine the volume, in liters, of 3.2 mol of CO2 gas at STP.

Answer 1

71.7 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/Kmol)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P = 1 atm (STP)

V = ?

n = 3.2mol

T = 273K (STP)

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 3.2 × 0.0821 × 273/1

V = 71.7 L
