Answer:
40.0L is the volume the CO occupy
Explanation:
To solve this question we must assume the gas is at STP. To find the volume of a gas using the moles, temperature and pressure of the gas we have to use:
PV = nRT
V = nRT / P
Where V is volume in liters
n are moles of the gas -Molar mass CO: 28g/mol-
50.0g * (1mol / 28g) = 1.786 moles CO
R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK
T is absolute temperature = 273.15K at STP
P is pressure = 1atm at STP
Replacing:
V = 1.786moles*0.082atmL/molK*273.15K / 1atm
V = 40.0L is the volume the CO occupy
