B

101L

Explanation:

We use the ideal gas relation

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 101.3KPa

V = volume = ?

n = number of moles = 4.5moles

T = Temperature = 273.15K

R = molar gas constant = 8.314J/mol. k

Rearranging the equation to make V the subject of the formula yields:

V = nRT/P

= (4.5 * 8.314 * 273.15) : 101.3

= 10,219.361 : 101.3 = 100.88L which is apprx 101L
