Answer:
V = 5.17L
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of gas = 8.7g
T = 23°C = (23 + 273.15)K = 296.15K
P = 1.15 atm
V = ?
R = 0.082atm.L / mol.K
From ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
n = no. Of moles
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature of the gas
no of moles = mass / molar mass
Molar mass of Chlorine = 35.5g / mol
No. Of moles = 8.7 / 35.5
No. Of moles = 0.245 moles
PV = nRT
V = nRT / P
V = (0.245 * 0.082 * 296.15) / 1.15
V = 5.9496 / 1.15
V = 5.17L
The volume of the gas is 5.17L
