A 700.-ml sample of nitrogen gas is collected at 28.0°c and a pressure of 599 torr. What volume will the gas occupy at STP (0°c and 760 torr)?
Accepted Answer
This is a classic gas law problem! We can solve this using the combined gas law: (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂.
Here's how to apply it:
P₁: Initial pressure = 599 torr
V₁: Initial volume = 700 mL
T₁: Initial temperature = 28.0 °C + 273.15 = 301.15 K (convert to Kelvin)
P₂: Final pressure (STP) = 760 torr
V₂: Final volume (what we're solving for)
T₂: Final temperature (STP) = 0 °C + 273.15 = 273.15 K
Now plug the values into the equation and solve for V₂.
