Answer:
Option A; V = 2.92 L
Explanation:
If we assume a lot of things, like:
The gas is an ideal gas.
The temperature is constant.
The gas does not interchange mass with the environment.
Then we have the relation:
P*V = n*R*T = constant.
Where:
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = constant of the ideal gas
T = temperature.
We know that when P = 0.55 atm, the volume is 5.31 L
Then:
(0.55 atm)*(5.31 L) = constant
Now, when the gas is at standard pressure ( P = 1 atm)
We still have the relation:
P*V = constant = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)
(1 atm)*V = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)
Now we only need to solve this for V.
V = (0.55 atm/ 1 atm)*(5.31 L) = 2.92 L
V = 2.92 L
Then the correct option is A.
Balanced chemical equation:
2 C2H2 + 5 O2 = 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
2 moles C2H2 ---------------- 5 moles O2
moles C2H2 ------------------ 84 moles O2
moles C2H2 = 84 * 2 / 5
molesC2H2 = 168 / 5 => 33.6 moles of C2H2
