Ivan Velazquez · Answer 1

To determine the volume of the tank, we assume that neon is an ideal gas to be able to use the equation,

PV = nRT

Rearranging the equation will give us,

V = nRT/P

Substituting the known values,

V = (115 moles) (0.0821 L. atm/mol. K) (45 + 273.15 K) / (57 atm)

V = 52.7 L

Thus, the volume of the tank is approximately 52.7 L.
