  • Ideal Gas Law Problem: Calculating Gas Volume with Given Parameters
    To solve this problem, we can use the ideal gas law:

    ```

    PV = nRT

    ```

    Where:

    * P is the pressure in atmospheres

    * V is the volume in liters

    * 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

    We are given the following information:

    * n = 3.21 mol

    * V = 56.2 L

    * T = 44 °C + 273.15 = 317.15 K

    * P = 793 torr * (1 atm / 760 torr) = 1.043 atm

    We can rearrange the ideal gas law to solve for V:

    ```

    V = nRT / P

    ```

    Substituting our values in, we get:

    ```

    V = (3.21 mol * 0.08206 L * atm / mol * K * 317.15 K) / 1.043 atm

    ```

    ```

    V = 84.5 L

    ```

    Therefore, the gas occupies 84.5 L at the given conditions.
