Beyond the Answer
To calculate the volume of dinitrogen difluoride gas at \( -10.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) using the ideal gas law, we can use the equation: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - \( P \) = pressure (in atm) - \( V \) = volume (in liters) - \( n \) = number of moles of gas - \( R \) = ideal gas constant \( \approx 0.0821 \, \text{L·atm/(K·mol)} \) - \( T \) = temperature (in Kelvin) First, convert the temperature to Kelvin: \[ T = -10.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} + 273.15 = 263.15 \, \mathrm{K} \] Next, convert mmol to moles: \[ 490 \, \mathrm{mmol} = 490 \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{mol} = 0.490 \, \mathrm{mol} \] Now, plug the values into the ideal gas law equation: \[ V = \frac{nRT}{P} \] \[ V = \frac{(0.490 \, \mathrm{mol}) (0.0821 \, \mathrm{L·atm/(K·mol)}) (263.15 \, \mathrm{K})}{1 \, \mathrm{atm}} \] Calculating this gives: \[ V = \frac{(0.490)(0.0821)(263.15)}{1} \] \[ V \approx \frac{10.0367}{1} \approx 10.04 \, \mathrm{L} \] Rounding to three significant digits: \[ \boxed{10.0 \, \mathrm{L}} \]
