Answer to Question #179711 in General Chemistry for lahmis

Question

A quantity of gas has a volume of 250.0 L at 17 C and 3.00 atm of pressure. To what volume must the gas be increased for the gas to be under STP conditions?

Answer 1

STP states that at STP the pressure is 1atm and the temperature is 273K.

Therefore

V₂= (P₁V₁T₂)/T₁P₂

V₂ = (3×250×273)/(290×1)

V₂ = 706 L
