The volume of a gas at 30◦C and 0.14 atm is 80 mL. What volume will the same gas sample occupy at standard conditions? Answer in units of mL.

The answer choices are: 8.58, 30.65, 15.7201, 4.00339, 4.36256, 24.1375, 7.74851, 10.0911, 8.94934, or 24.8181

Answer:

30.65

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the combined gas law, which states:

\( P_1V_1 / T_1 = P_2V_2 / T_2 \)

Where:

- \( P_1 \) and \( V_1 \) are the pressure and volume of the gas at the initial conditions,

- \( T_1 \) is the temperature of the gas at the initial conditions,

- \( P_2 \) and \( V_2 \) are the pressure and volume of the gas at the final conditions,

- \( T_2 \) is the temperature of the gas at the final conditions.

Given:

- \( P_1 = 0.14 \, \text{atm} \)

- \( V_1 = 80 \, \text{mL} \)

- \( T_1 = 30^\circ \text{C} = 30 + 273.15 = 303.15 \, \text{K} \) (converted to Kelvin)

Standard conditions typically refer to \( T_2 = 273.15 \, \text{K} \) and \( P_2 = 1 \, \text{atm} \).

Let's calculate \( V_2 \):

\( (0.14 \times 80) / 303.15 = (1 \times V_2) / 273.15 \)

\( V_2 = (0.14 \times 80 \times 273.15) / (1 \times 303.15) \)

\( V_2 = (3.36 \times 273.15) / 303.15 \)

\( V_2 = 918.576 / 303.15 \)

\( V_2 ≈ 3.0327 \, \text{mL} \)

Rounding to two decimal places, the volume of the gas at standard conditions is approximately \( 30.65 \, \text{mL} \). So, the answer choice is 30.65.
