The volume at STP is 5900 L.
Explanation:
You don’t give the temperature or pressure, so I shall assume the gas is at STP.
We can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume at STP.
The Ideal Gas Law is:
color(blue)(|bar(ul(PV = nRT)|) ,
where
P is the pressureV is the volumen is the number of molesR is the gas constantT is the temperature
We can rearrange the Ideal Gas Law to get
V = (nRT)/P
STP is 1 bar and 0 °C.
