To find the mass of CO2, we can use the ideal gas law equation: PV = nRT, where P is the pressure in atmospheres (1.44 atm), V is the volume in liters (5.33 L), n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)), and T is the temperature in Kelvin (48 °C + 273 = 321 K). Rearranging the equation to solve for n (n = PV/RT) and then multiplying by the molar mass of CO2 (44.01 g/mol) gives the mass of CO2 in grams.
