If 345.1 g of CO2 are placed in a vessel whose volume is 32.1 L at a temperature of 20.0oC, what will the pressure be? (R= 0.0821 atm*L/mole*K)

5.88atm

Explanation:

First, we obtain the number of mole of CO2 present in the vessel. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the question = 345.1g

Number of mole of CO2 =?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of CO2 = 345.1/44

= 7.84moles

Now we can easily calculate the pressure by doing the following:

Data obtained from the question include:

V (volume) = 32.1 L

T (temperature) = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293K

R (gas constant) = 0.0821atm*L/mole*K

n (number of mole) = 7.84moles

P (pressure) =?

We will be making use of the ideal gas equation PV = nRT to calculate the pressure

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = 7.84 x 0.0821 x 293/32.1

P = 5.88atm

Therefore, the pressure is 5.88atm

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
