A compressed air tank carried by scuba divers has a volume of 8.00 L and a pressure of 141 atm at 22.0°C. What is the volume (in liters) of air in the tank at STP?

A) 993 L
B) 1,044 L
C) 1,224 L
D) 1,280 L

Answer:

Volume of air in the tank =1,044 Liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tank volume = 8 Liter

Pressure = 141 atm

Temperature = 22°C = 273° + 20° = 295° K

Find:

Volume of air in the tank = ?

Computation:

[tex]\frac{Pressure\times Tank\ volume}{Tempreture} =\frac{Pressure\times Air\ volume}{Tempreture}\\\\\frac{141\times 8}{295} =\frac{1\times Air\ volume}{273.15}\\\\\frac{1,128}{295} =\frac{Air\ volume}{273.15}\\\\Air\ volume=1,044.45[/tex]

Volume of air in the tank =1,044 Liter
