How many Liters of gas would be found in a 8.146 g of Carbon Dioxide

Answer 1

When dealing with gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), the volume will depend on the temperature and the pressure. Since neither of these variables is provided in the question, we will assume that the conditions are STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP 1 mole of any gas equals 22.4 L.

So, we'll first find the moles of CO₂ represented by 8.146 g and then convert this to liters.

molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g / mol

moles of CO₂ present = 8.146 g CO₂ x 1 mol / 44.01 g = 0.1851 mols CO₂

Liters of CO₂ = 0.1851 mols x 22.4 L / mol = 4.146 Liters of CO₂
