A sample of ammonia is found to occupy 0.250 L under laboratory conditions of 27 °C and 0.850 atm. Find the volume of this sample at 0 °C and 1.00 atm.

0.193 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Initial Volume (V1) = 0.250 L

Initial temperature (T1) = 27°C

Initial pressure (P1) = 0.850 atm

Final volume (V2) =?

Final temperature (T2) = 0°C

Final pressure (P2) = 1.00 atm

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature.

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

Initial temperature (T1) = 27°C = 27°C + 273 = 300K

Final temperature (T2) = 0°C = 0°C + 273 = 273K

Step 3:

Determination of the new volume of the sample of ammonia gas.

The new volume can be obtain by using the general gas equation as shown below:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

0.850x0.250/300 = 1xV2/273

Cross multiply to express in linear form

300 x V2 = 0.850x0.250x273

Divide both side by 300

V2 = (0.850x0.250x273) /300

V2 = 0.193 L

Therefore, the volume of the sample at 0 °C and 1.00 atm is 0.193 L

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
