Question

A container holds 20.4 L of CO2 at 1.58 atm, what is the volume at STP?

Answer 1

32.232 L

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the volume at 1.58atm is 20.4 L

-At standard pressure, the pressure is 1.00atm

-We apply Charle's Law to find the volume at STP:

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\\\1.58\ atm* 20.4\ L=1.00\ atm* V_2\\\\V_2=(1.58* 20.4)/(1.00)\\\\\\\\=32.232\ L`

Hence, the volume of the gas at STP is 32.232 L
