What volume is occupied by 50.0 g of chlorine gas at 10.00°C at a pressure of 755 Torr?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the volume, use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT. First, convert 50.0 g of Cl2 to moles (50.0 g / 70.9 g/mol = 0.705 moles). Convert temperature to Kelvin (10.00°C = 283.15 K) and pressure to atm (755 Torr = 0.993 atm). Using R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K, solve for V: V = nRT/P = (0.705 mol)(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(283.15 K) / 0.993 atm = 16.4 L.
