Answer:
236.9g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of gas = 81.3L
Pressure of gas = 204kPa
temperature of gas = 95°C
Unknown:
Mass of carbondioxide gas = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, the ideal gas law will be well suited. The ideal gas law is a fusion of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law.
Mathematically, it is expressed as;
PV = nRT
the unknown here is n which is the number of moles;
P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.
convert pressure into atm
101.325KPa = 1atm
204 kPa = = 2atm
Convert temperature to Kelvin; 95 + 273 = 368K
2 x 81.3 = n x 0.082 x 368
n = = 5.38moles
Since the unknown is mass;
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 12 + 2(16) = 44g/mol
Mass = 5.38 x 44 = 236.9g
