Answer:

The correct answer is A. 270L

Explanation:

We use the gas formula, which results from the combination of the Boyle, Charles and Gay-Lussac laws. According to which at a constant mass, temperature, pressure and volume vary, keeping constant PV / T. The conditions STP are 1 atm of pressure and 273K of temperature.

We convert the unit of pressure in mmHg into atm:

760mmHg----1 atm

450mmHg---x= (450mmHgx 1 atm)/760mmHg=0,59atm

P1xV1/T1= P2xV2/T2

V2=((P1xV1/T1)xT2)/P2

V2=((0,59atmx500L/300K)x273K)/1 atm=269,407 L
