  • Calculating Gas Volume: Ideal Gas Law & Molar Mass - Chemistry Problem
    We can use the ideal gas law to calculate the volume of C2H2F4 vapor:

    $$PV = nRT$$

    where:

    * P is the pressure in atmospheres (atm)

    * V is the volume in liters (L)

    * n is the number of moles of gas

    * R is the ideal gas constant (0.08206 L atm / mol K)

    * T is the temperature in Kelvin (K)

    First, we need to calculate the number of moles of C2H2F4 vapor:

    $$n = \frac{m}{M}$$

    where:

    * m is the mass of the gas in grams (g)

    * M is the molar mass of the gas in grams per mole (g/mol)

    The molar mass of C2H2F4 is:

    $$M = 2(12.01 \ g/mol) + 2(1.01 \ g/mol) + 4(19.00 \ g/mol) = 64.06 \ g/mol$$

    So, the number of moles of C2H2F4 vapor is:

    $$n = \frac{0.100 \ g}{64.06 \ g/mol} = 0.001561 \ mol$$

    Now, we can substitute the values of P, n, R, and T into the ideal gas law to calculate the volume:

    $$V = \frac{nRT}{P}$$

    $$V = \frac{(0.001561 \ mol)(0.08206 \ L atm / mol K)(295.45 \ K)}{0.0928 \ atm}$$

    $$V = 0.404 \ L$$

    Therefore, the volume of 0.100 g of C2H2F4 vapor at 0.0928 atm and 22.3°C is 0.404 L.
