Answer 1

Answer:

3.88 atm

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of CO₂ in each case. This can be obtained as follow:

For 2.50 g of CO₂:

Mass of CO₂ = 2.5 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16) = 44 g/mol

Mole of CO₂ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of CO₂ = 2.5 / 44

Mole of CO₂ = 0.06 mole

For 0.42 g of CO₂:

Mass of CO₂ = 2.5 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Mole of CO₂ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of CO₂ = 0.42 / 44

Mole of CO₂ = 0.010 mole

Finally, we shall determine the new pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial mole (n₁) = 0.06 mole

Initial pressure (P₁) = 4.65 atm

Final mole (n₂) = 0.06 – 0.010 = 0.05 mole

Final pressure (P₂) =?

NOTE: Temperature and volume is constant.

P₁ / n₁ = P₂ / n₂

4.65 / 0.06 = P₂ / 0.05

Cross multiply

0.06 × P₂ = 4.65 × 0.05

0.06 × P₂ = 0.2325

Divide both side by 0.06

P₂ = 0.2325 / 0.06

P₂ = 3.88 atm

Thus, the new pressure is 3.88 atm.
