Answer:
Mass = 40.4 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass in gram = ?
Volume of SO₂ = 14.2 L
Temperature = standard = 273 K
Pressure = standard = 1 atm
Solution:
The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,
PV = nRT
P= Pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K
T = temperature in kelvin
1 atm × 14.2 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273 K
14.2 atm.L = n × 22.41 atm.L/ mol
n = 14.2 atm.L/22.41 atm.L/ mol
n = 0.63 mol
Mass of sulfur dioxide:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.63 mol × 64.1 g/mol
Mass = 40.4 g
