    1 kg of CO2 occupies a volume of approximately 559 liters at room temperature and standard pressure. This is equivalent to the volume of two bathtubs or the trunk of a large car. The calculation involves determining the number of moles of CO2 from its molecular weight, and then using the ideal gas law to relate the moles, temperature, and pressure to the volume.

    How much volume does 1 kg of CO2 occupy at room temperature and standard pressure?

    CO2 has a molecular weight of 44 g/mol


    1 kg CO2 = 1000 g × (1 mol/44 g) = 22.7 mol CO2
    V=nRT/P, V=(22.7)(0.0821)(300)/1 = 559 L CO2 at 27°C (300K), 1 atm
    This is a little more than half a cubic meter approximately equal to the volume of two
    bathtubs or the trunk of a large car.
