Answer:
The volume at STP is 41.3mL
Explanation:
To solve this question we must find the volume using the combined gas law. The equation is:
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
Where P is pressure, V volume and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas.
P1 = 718torr
V1 = 47.9mL
T1 = 26°C + 273.15 = 299.15K
P2 = 760torr at STP
V2 = ?
T2 = 273.15K at STP
Replacing:
718torr*47.9mL / 299.15K = 760torr*V2 / 273.15K
41.3mL = V2
The volume at STP is 41.3mL
