Approx. 14*L14L

Explanation:

2Fe(s) + 3/2O_2(g) rarr Fe_2O_3(s)2Fe(s)+32O2(g)Fe2O3(s)

"Moles of Fe"_2"O"_3=(56*g)/(159.69*g*mol^-1)=0.351*molMoles of Fe2O3=56g159.69gmol1=0.351mol.

Given the stoichiometry, 0.351*molxx3/20.351mol×32 "dioxygen"dioxygen reacts, i.e. 0.526*mol0.526mol.

We assume ideality, and thus, V=(nRT)/PV=nRTP

=(0.526*cancel(mol)xx0.0821*(L*cancel(atm))/(cancel(K)*cancel(mol))xx299*cancel(K))/(0.95*cancel(atm))=??L
