With the given formula, we can calculate the amount of CO₂ using the balance equation but we first need the moles of CH₄
1) to find the moles of CH₄, we need to use the ideal gas formula (PV= nRT). if we solve for n, we solve for the moles of CH₄, and then we can convert to CO₂. Remember that the units put in this formula depending on the R value units. I remember 0.0821 which means pressure (P) has to be in atm, volume (V) in liters, the amount (n) in moles, and temperature (T) in kelvin.
PV= nRT
P= 1.00 atm
V= 32.0 Liters
n= ?
R= 0.0821 atm L/mol K
T= 25 C= 298 K
let plug the values into the formula.
(1.00 x 32.0 L)= n x 0.0821 x 298K
n= (1.00 x 32.0 L )/ (0.0821 x 298)= 1.31 moles CH₄
2) now let's convert the mole of CH₄ to moles to CO₂ using the balance equation
1.31 mol CH₄ (1 mol CO₂/ 1 mol CH₄)= 1.31 mol CO₂
3) Now let's convert from moles to grams using the molar mass of CO₂ (find the mass of each atom in the periodic table and add them)
molar mass CO₂= 12.00 + (2 x 16.0)= 44.0 g/mol
1.31 mol CO₂ ( 44.0 g/ 1 mol)= 57.6 g CO₂

8. A. Density is independent of size (an intensive property).
9. B. The highest density is 1786 g/20cm^3, or 89.3 g/cm^3. The least is 512 g/20cm^3, or 25.6 g/cm^3. Therefore, the difference is 89.3 - 25.6, or 63.7 g/cm^3.
10. C. A bottle filled with air weighs less than one filled with marshmallows, because air is less dense than marshmallows.
11. D. The number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, as well as the atomic number of the element.
12. C. The number represents the atomic mass of the element, which is determined based on the relative abundance of each form of the element.
