Answer:
4.55x10⁻⁴ atm
Explanation:
When the balance is used, it first must be tared, it means that the weight of the vessel will be discounted, so the mass of the gas produced must be above 0.5 mg to be read in the balance.
The molar mass of the CO2 is 44 g/mol, so, for a mass of 0.5 mg = 0.0005 g, the number of moles is:
n = 0.0005/44
n = 0.000011 mol
The ideal gas law is:
PV = nRT
Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, R is the constant of the gases (0.082 atm.L/mol.K), and T is the temperature (30°C = 303 K), so:
P*0.6 = 0.000011*0.082*303
P = 4.55x10⁻⁴ atm
