WAEC 2013

The volume of a given mass of gas at 27oC and 800 mmHg is 76cm2. Calculate its volume at s.t.p

  • A. 100.0 cm3
  • B. 72.8 cm3
  • C. 60.0 cm3
  • D. 36.4 cm3

Correct Answer: B. 72.8 cm3

Explanation

\(V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1} = \frac{800 \times 76 \times 273}{760 \times 300}\)

= 72.8cm3
