Question

47.9 ml hrdrogen is collected at 26° Celsius and 718 torr. Find the volume occupied at STP

Answer 1

Answer:

41.45 mL

Explanation:

Applying the general gas equation,

PV/T = P'V'/T'............... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure of hydrogen, V = Initial volume of hydrogen, T= Initial Temperature of hydrogen, P' = Final pressure of hydrogen, V' = Final Volume of Hydrogen, T' = Final Temperature.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PVT'/TP'................ Equation 2

Given: P = 718 torr = (718×133.322) N/m² = 95725.196 N/m², V = 47.9 mL = 0.0479 dm³, T = 26 °C = (26+273) = 299 K, T' = 273 K, P' = 101000 N/m²

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = ( 95725.196×0.0479×273)/(299×101000)

V' = 0.04145 dm³

V' = 41.45 mL
