  1. 7.13 L of ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH

    Explanation:

    We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 2.24 g of ethanol. This can be obtained as follow:

    Mass of CH₃CH₂OH = 2.24 g

    Molar mass of CH₃CH₂OH = 12 + (3×1) + 12 + (2×1) + 16 + 1

    = 12 + 3 + 12 + 2 + 16 + 1

    = 46 g/mol

    Mole of CH₃CH₂OH =?

    Mole = mass / molar mass

    Mole of CH₃CH₂OH = 2.24 / 46

    Mole of CH₃CH₂OH = 0.049 mole

    Next, we shall convert 40 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

    T(K) = T(°C) + 273

    T(°C) = 40 °C

    T(K) = 40 °C + 273

    T(K) = 313 K

    Finally, we shall determine the volume of ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH in present in the container. This can be obtained as follow:

    Pressure (P) = 17.88 KPa

    Temperature (T) = 313 K

    Number of mole (n) = 0.049 mole

    Gas constant (R) = 8.314 L.KPa/Kmol

    Volume (V) =?

    PV = nRT

    17.88 × V = 0.049 × 8.314 × 313

    Divide both side by 17.88

    V = (0.049 × 8.314 × 313) / 17.88

    V = 7.13 L

    Thus, 7.13 L of ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH will be present in the container.
