.035 gallons equals 0.1324894 L
Volume of the tank is 5.5 litres.
Explanation:
mass of the CO2 is given 8.6 grams
Pressure of the gas is 89 Kilopascal which is 0.8762 atm
Temperature of the gas is 29 degrees ( 0 degrees +273.5= K) so (29+273)
R = gas constant 0.0821 liter atmosphere per kelvin)
FROM THE IDEAL GAS LAW
PV=nRT ( P Pressure, V Volume, n is number of moles of gas, R gas constant, Temperature in Kelvin)
no of moles = mass/atomic mass
= 8.6/44
= 0.195 moles
now putting the values in equation
V=nRT/P
= 0.195*0.0821*302/ 0.8762
= 5.5 litres.
As the carbon dioxide gas occupies the volume os the tank hence volume of tank is 5.5 litres.
Surface tension, property of a liquid surface displayed by its acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane. This phenomenon can be observed in the nearly spherical shape of small drops of liquids and of soap bubbles. Because of this property, certain insects can stand on the surface of water.
