A sample of carbon monoxide gas is collected in a 100 mL container at a pressure of 688 mmHg and a temperature of 565°C. How many grams of this gas is present this given sample?
1 Answer
The mass of
Explanation:
We can use the Ideal Gas Law to solve this problem.
#color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)PV = nRT color(white)(a/a)|)))" "#
Since
#color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)PV = m/MRTcolor(white)(a/a)|)))" "#
We can rearrange this to get
#m = (MPV)/(RT)#
∴
∴ The mass is 0.0369 g.
