Question

A 3.4 g sample of carbon dioxide (`CO_2`) gas is confined to a 450 mL rigid container at 55 deg C. How can you determine the pressure in the container?

Answer 1

Use the Ideal Gas Law, `P=(nRT)/V`

Explanation:

`P=(3.4*g)/(44.0*g*mol^-1)xx(0.0821*L*atm)/(K*mol)xx328*Kxx1/(0.45*L)`

`~=` `5*atm`
