Explanation:
To answer this question, we'll need to use the Ideal Gas Law:
p
V
=
n
R
T
,
where
p
is pressure,
V
is volume,
n
is the number of moles
R
is the gas constant, and
T
is temperature in Kelvin.
The question already gives us the values for
p
and
T
, because helium is at STP. This means that temperature is
273.15 K
and pressure is
1 atm
.
We also already know the gas constant. In our case, we'll use the value of
0.08206 L atm/K mol
since these units fit the units of our given values the best.
We can find the value for
n
by dividing the mass of helium gas by its molar mass:
n
=
number of moles
=
mass of sample
molar mass
=
6.00 g
4.00 g/mol
=
1.50 mol
Now, we can just plug all of these values in and solve for
V
:
p
V
=
n
R
T
V
=
n
R
T
p
=
1.50 mol
×
0.08206 L atm/K mol
×
273.15 K
1 atm
= 33.6 L
this is not the answer but it will help you
do by the formula it is on the answer
