36 g of water vapor takes up how many liters at room temperature and pressure of 293k and 100 k pa

-

48.72 L

Explanation:-

Chemical formula of water= H2O

Mass of water = 36 g

Molar mass of water = 1 x 2 + 16 x 1 = 18 g mol-1

Number of moles of water = n = 36 g / (18 g mol-1)

= 2 moles.

Temperature T = 293 K

Pressure = P = 100 K Pa

Universal gas constant R = 8.314 L KPa K -1 mol-1

Using the relation PV = nRT

we get Volume V = nRT/P

Plugging in the values

V = (2 moles ) x ( 8.314 L KPa K -1 mol-1) x ( 293 K) / 100 K Pa

= 48.72 L

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
