<u>Answer:</u> The temperature of the system is 273 K
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
Given mass of carbon dioxide = 1 lb = 453.6 g (Conversion factor: 1 lb = 453.6 g)
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the temperature of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
where,
P = Pressure of carbon dioxide = 200 psia = 13.6 atm (Conversion factor: 1 psia = 0.068 atm)
V = Volume of carbon dioxide = (Conversion factor:
)
n = number of moles of carbon dioxide = 10.31 mol
R = Gas constant =
T = temperature of the system = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the temperature of the system is 273 K
