Question

“Dry ice” is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Determine the number of mass of CO2 gas in grams that are present in 61.8 L of CO2 at STP.

_________________ g CO2. Do NOT enter unit. Report your final answer with 3 SFs.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass  = 121 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass in gram of CO₂ = ?

Volume = 61.8 L

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

Solution:

Formula:

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 61.8 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 273.15 k

61.8 L.atm = 22.42 atm.L/ mol × n

n = 61.8 L.atm /22.42 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.76 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass =  number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.76 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass  = 121 g
