I've done this a few times and keep coming up with 5.0 L . I used the mole ratio, and SO 2 as the LR. That would make 2 moles of SO3 5.0 L but its not one of your choices. the temp and pressure are constant, so according to n/v = p/rt the volume is the same as the moles. hope this helps
Volume of the tank is 5.5 litres.
Explanation:
mass of the CO2 is given 8.6 grams
Pressure of the gas is 89 Kilopascal which is 0.8762 atm
Temperature of the gas is 29 degrees ( 0 degrees +273.5= K) so (29+273)
R = gas constant 0.0821 liter atmosphere per kelvin)
FROM THE IDEAL GAS LAW
PV=nRT ( P Pressure, V Volume, n is number of moles of gas, R gas constant, Temperature in Kelvin)
no of moles = mass/atomic mass
= 8.6/44
= 0.195 moles
now putting the values in equation
V=nRT/P
= 0.195*0.0821*302/ 0.8762
= 5.5 litres.
As the carbon dioxide gas occupies the volume os the tank hence volume of tank is 5.5 litres.
