Answer:
12.7 L (3 s.f.)
Explanation:
Since it is an ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law:
[tex]\boxed{pV=nRT}[/tex]
☆ where p= pressure
V= volume
n= number of moles
R= ideal gas constant
T= temperature
Substitute all the given information into the formula:
2V= 1(0.08206)(310)
2V= 25.4386
V= 25.4386 ÷2
V= 12.7 L (3 s.f.)
Further explanation:
The ideal gas constant, R, has different values depending on what units are being used. Two examples are listed below:
[tex]• \: 0.08206 \: L \: atm ^{ - 1} \: mol \: K[/tex]
[tex]• \: 8.314 \: J \: {mol}^{ - 1} \: {K}^{ - 1} [/tex]
In the above question, we use the value 0.08206 because the pressure was given in atm and the temperature was given in Kelvin. Thus, the unit used for volume is L.
