Answer:
The answer to your question is 93.88 grams
Explanation:
Data
mass of CO₂ = ?
Volume = 33.7 l
Temperature = -22.2°C
Pressure = 990 mmHg
constant of ideal gases = 0.082 atm l/mol°K
Process
1.- Convert temperature to °K
Temperature = -22.2 + 273
= 250.8°K
2.- Convert the pressure to atm
1 atm ------------- 760 mmHg
x ------------- 990 mmHG
x = (990 x 1) / 760
x = 1.3 atm
3.- Use the ideal gas law to find the moles of CO₂
PV = nRT
-Solve for n
n = PV/RT
-Substitution
n = (1.3 x 33.7) / (0.082 x 250.8)
-Result
n = 43.89 / 20.57
n = 2.13
4.- Calculate the grams of CO₂
Molar mass CO₂ = 44g
44 g of CO₂ ------------ 1 mol
x ------------ 2.13 moles
x = (2.13 x 44) / 1
x = 93.88 grams
