Answer:
Volume of container = 0.0012 m³ or 1.2 L or 1200 ml
Explanation:
Volume of butane = 5.0 ml
density = 0.60 g/ml
Room temperature (T) = 293.15 K
Normal pressure (P) = 1 atm = 101,325 pa
Ideal gas constant (R) = 8.3145 J/mole.K)
volume of container V = ?
Solution
To find out the volume of container we use ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = gas constant
T = temperature
First we find out number of moles
As Mass = density × volume
mass of butane = 0.60 g/ml ×5.0 ml
mass of butane = 3 g
now find out number of moles (n)
n = mass / molar mass
n = 3 g / 58.12 g/mol
n = 0.05 mol
Now put all values in ideal gas equation
PV = nRt
V = nRT/P
V = (0.05 mol × 8.3145 J/mol.K × 293.15 K) ÷ 101,325 pa
V = 121.87 ÷ 101,325 pa
V = 0.0012 m³ OR 1.2 L OR 1200 ml
