I'm pretty sure this is a TBR mistake in what they've made expected by the problem vs what they're trying to test - if anyone could verify or say what I'm not seeing that'd be great!
The question is "What is the volume of fluoromethane at 25 oC and 1.00 atm?" with answer choices being
A) 20.17 L
B) 22.41 L
C) 24.24 L
D) 32.17 L
The gist of the passage is getting you to compare real and ideal gases (with this being a real gas obviously).
To go from STP volume of 22.4 L/mol ideal gas to the conditions given, you need the conversion 22.4*(298/273), which I don't see a way to approximate with high accuracy (contradictory I know, but you need pretty accurate results to judge between B and C). Is there a quick way to do the math that I'm not seeing?
