Question

what the volume of 88 grams of carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

What the volume of 88 grams of carbon dioxide?

Solution:

At Standard temperature and pressure (STP), volume of one mol of any gas is 22.4 L.

Molecular mass of carbon dioxide is:

$$m_a(CO_2) = m_a(C) + 2 \times m_a(O)$$ $$m_a(CO_2) \, (\text{g/mole}) = 12 + 2 \times 16 = 44$$

Volume of 88 grams of carbon dioxide at STP is

$$22.4 \times 88 / 44 = 44.8 \, \text{L}$$

Answer: 44.8 L.
