If 375 grams of CO2 are placed in a vessel whose volume is 34.5 liters at a temperature of 20 degrees celsius, what will the pressure be? PLEASE, ANYONE HELP!

Respuesta :

Answer:

the pressure is P = 5,94 atm ≈ 6 atm

Explanation:

Following the equation corresponding to the Ideal Gas Law, it is possible to find the system pressure in the silver problem.

                                                  [tex]PV = nRT[/tex]

From this equation, we find the pressure

                                                    [tex]P = \frac{nRT}{V}[/tex]

where:

P is the pressure of the gas,

V is the volume of the gas,

n is the amount of substance of gas (also known as number of moles),

R is the ideal, or universal, gas constant.

Now we find the moles of CO2

[tex]n = \frac{g}{PM}[/tex]

We have 375g of CO2 and its molecular weight is 44g/mol

[tex]nCO_{2} = \frac{375g}{44g/mol} = 8,52 mol[/tex]

Using.

R = 0,082[tex]\frac{L . atm}{K . mol}[/tex]

T = 20ºC = 293,15 K

We substitute in the equation

[tex]P = \frac{nRT}{V}\\\\ P = \frac{8,52 mol . 0,082\frac{L.atm}{K . mol} . 293,15K}{34,5 L}\\[/tex]

P = 5,94 atm ≈ 6 atm
