What pressure will be exerted by 26g if CO2 at a temperature of 35C and a volume of 550ml?

P = 28.5 atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT => P = nRT/V

P = Pressure = ?

n = moles of sample = mass/molar mass = 26g/44g·mol⁻¹ = 0.619 mole CO₂

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K

T = temperature in Kelvin = (35 + 273)K = 308K

V = volume in Liters = 550 ml = 0.550 L

Pressure (P) = nRT/V

= (0.619 mole)(0.08206 L·atm/mol·K)(308K)/(0.550 L) = 28.5 atm

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
