Using the formula for ideal gases, we can set up a proportion to solve this problem:
\( \frac{moles_1}{volume_1} = \frac{moles_2}{volume_2} \)
Plugging in the values we know:
\( \frac{1.01 mol}{40.2 L} = \frac{x mol}{58.9 L} \)
Solving for x (the number of moles in the 58.9 L container):
\( x = \frac{1.01 mol \cdot 58.9 L}{40.2 L} \)
\( x = 1.48 mol \)
Therefore, 1.48 moles of CO will occupy a 58.9 L container at the same temperature and pressure. The answer should have three significant figures.
\( \frac{moles_1}{volume_1} = \frac{moles_2}{volume_2} \)
Plugging in the values we know:
\( \frac{1.01 mol}{40.2 L} = \frac{x mol}{58.9 L} \)
Solving for x (the number of moles in the 58.9 L container):
\( x = \frac{1.01 mol \cdot 58.9 L}{40.2 L} \)
\( x = 1.48 mol \)
Therefore, 1.48 moles of CO will occupy a 58.9 L container at the same temperature and pressure. The answer should have three significant figures.
