Answer:
0.17094 liters
Explanation:
-For STP, Pressure=1 atm and Temperature=273K
-We apply the combined gas law which relates temperature, pressure and Volume:
[tex]\frac{PV}{T}=k[/tex]
-We therefore equate the relationship at different temperatures as follows:
[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\\\frac{1\times 1.4\ }{273}=\frac{1.2\times V_2}{40}\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 1.4\ }{273}\times \frac{40}{1.2}\\\\=0.17094\ L[/tex]
Hence, the new volume is 0.17094 liters
