Alka-seltzer is an effervescent antacid which neutralizes the acid of the stomach by generating CO2. The chemical formula of alka-seltzer is C16H17NaO14. In this case, if we are given the mass of the antacid used, then by stoichiometry, mass alka-seltzer * (1/ molar mass of alk-selz) * (1 mol Co2 / 1 mol alk-seltz) * (44 g/molCo2). That is how you get the mass of Co2 produced.
What is the question exactly?
Answer:
30.62 L
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 55 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = 3.2 atm
Initial temperature (T₁) = 520 K
Final temperature (T₂) = 760 K
Final pressure (P₂) = 8.4 atm
Final volume (V₂) =?
The final volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:
P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂
3.2 × 55 / 520 = 8.4 × V₂ / 760
176 / 520 = 8.4 × V₂ / 760
Cross multiply
520 × 8.4 × V₂ = 176 × 760
4368 × V₂ = 133760
Divide both side by 4368
V₂ = 133760 / 4368
V₂ = 30.62 L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 30.62 L
