During laparoscopic surgery , carbon dioxide gas is used to expand the abdomen to help create a larger working space. If 4.80 L of CO 2 gas at 18 °C at 785 mmHg is used, what is the final volume , in liters, of the gas at 37 degrees * C and a pressure of 745 mmHg if the amount of CO 2 does not change ?

5.37 L

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the PV=nRT equation.

First we calculate the amount of CO₂, using the initial given conditions for P, V and T:

1.03 atm * 4.80 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 291.16 K

We solve for n:

Then we use that value of n for another PV=nRT equation, where T=37 °C (310.16K) and P = 745 mmHg (0.98 atm).

And we solve for V:

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
