Answer:

The pressure exerted by 66.0 g of CO₂ gas at -14.5°C that occupies a volume of 50.0 L is 0.636 atm.

How do we calculate pressure?

Pressure of any gas will be calculated by using the ideal gas equation as:

PV = nRT, where

P = pressure of gas = ?

V = volume of gas = 50L

R = universal gas constant = 0.082 L.atm/K.mol

T = temperature of gas = -14.5°C = 258.65 K

n is moles of gas and it will be calculated as:

n = W/M, where

W = given mass of CO₂ = 66g

M = molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

n = 66/44 = 1.5 moles

On putting values we get

P = (1.5)(0.082)(258.65) / (50)

P = 0.636 atm

Hence required pressure is 0.636 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:
