Question

If a person exhales 25.0 grams of CO2 in an hour, what volume does this amount occupy at 1.00 atm and 37 degrees Celsius? Please enter your answer in numerical form (for example instead of writing "one" type the number "1" [do not include quotation marks]). Also, please do not write the unit. In this problem, do not write out the unit "Liter" or "L" beside the numerical answer. Write ONLY the numerical answer. Hint: Be sure to remember to convert the temperature to Kelvin.

Answer 1

25.0 grams of CO2 = 0.52 moles
each mole occupies 22.4L at STP
so, so, to find the volume at 37°C, solve
V/(37+271) = (0.52*22.4)/(0+271)
V = 13.24 L

Answer 2

24.7

Answer 3

13.24
