Explanation:
The mealworms released carbon dioxide into the solution, which is acidic when dissolved.
The assumption in this problem is that the gas, CO2, is ideal and that the ideal gas law is applicable such that,
n = PV/RT
We simply substitute the given values to the equation above,
n = (1 atm)(V) / (0.082 Latm/mol.K)(T)
n = 12.20 V/T
There will be no dwarf pea plants in the first generation, because T is the dominant gene
