1. Convert Units
* Temperature (T): 5 degrees Celsius to Kelvin: 5 + 273.15 = 278.15 K
* Pressure (P): 845 mm Hg to atmospheres (atm): 845 mm Hg / 760 mm Hg/atm = 1.112 atm
* Number of molecules (N): To moles (n): 4.0 x 10^22 molecules / 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol = 0.0665 mol
2. Ideal Gas Law
The Ideal Gas Law is: PV = nRT
Where:
* P = Pressure (in atm)
* V = Volume (in liters)
* n = Number of moles
* R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)
* T = Temperature (in Kelvin)
3. Solve for Volume (V)
Rearrange the Ideal Gas Law to solve for V:
V = (nRT) / P
4. Calculate
V = (0.0665 mol * 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 278.15 K) / 1.112 atm
V ≈ 1.37 L
5. Convert to mL
V ≈ 1.37 L * 1000 mL/L ≈ 1370 mL
Therefore, the volume of the container is approximately 1370 mL.
