5.00 L of a gas is collected at 22.0°C and 745.0 mmHg. When the temperature is changed to standard, what is the new pressure?

Use the Ideal Gas Laws to calculate the change. (P_1 * V_1)/T_1 = (P_2 * V_2)/T_2P1V1T1=P2V2T2

Explanation:

STP is 0°C (273.15K)and 760mm Hg. The temperatures must be in K for the ratio to be correct.

(P_1 * V_1)/T_1 = (P_2 * V_2)/T_2P1V1T1=P2V2T2

(745 * 5.00)/295.15 = (760 * V_2)/273.15 ; V_2 = 273.15/760 * [(745 * 5.00)/295.15]7455.00295.15=760V2273.15;V2=273.15760[7455.00295.15]

V_2 = 4.53LV2=4.53L
