Determine how many liters of hydrogen adjusted to STP there are in a 50.0 liter steel cylinder if the pressure inside is 100.0 atm and the temperature is 27.0oC.

Respuesta :

Answer : The volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 4550 L.

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = 100.0 atm

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas at STP = 1 atm

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = 50.0 L

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas at STP = ?

[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature of gas = [tex]27.0^oC=273+27.0=300K[/tex]

[tex]T_2[/tex] = final temperature of gas at STP = [tex]0^oC=273+0=273K[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

[tex]\frac{100.0atm\times 50.0L}{300K}=\frac{1atm\times V_2}{273K}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=4550L[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 4550 L.
