Answer:
0.14 M
Explanation:
To determinate the concentration of a new solution, we can use the equation below:
C1xV1 = C2xV2
Where C is the concentration, and V the volume, 1 represents the initial solution, and 2 the final one. So, first, the initial concentration is 1.50 M, the initial volume is 55.0 mL and the final volume is 278 mL
1.50x55.0 = C2x278
C2 = 0.30 M
The portion of 139 mL will be the same concentration because it wasn't diluted or evaporated. The final volume will be the volume of the initial solution plus the volume of water added, V2 = 139 + 155 = 294 mL
Then,
0.30x139 = C2x294
C2 = 0.14 M
When we wish to convert a gas to liquid we have to either
a) decrease temperature
b) increase pressure
In case of fire extinguisher the CO2 is found to be in liquid state, this is as the CO2 is pressurized at high pressure which keeps CO2 in liquid state
the ideal pressure and temperature conditions when CO2 gas can be converted to CO2 gas
Pressure = 5 - 73 atm
Temperature = -57 to 31 degree Celsius
