The volume is 30 L.
Explanation:
We can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.
The Ideal Gas Law is:
color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a)PV = nRTcolor(white)(a/a)|)))" "
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
