Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Ideal Gas Law
The Ideal Gas Law is a fundamental equation in chemistry that relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas. It is expressed as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. This law allows us to calculate the behavior of gases under various conditions.

Molar Volume
Molar volume is defined as the volume occupied by one mole of a substance at a given temperature and pressure. For an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure (0 °C and 101.3 kPa), the molar volume is approximately 22.4 L. However, at different conditions, such as 25 °C and 101.3 kPa, the molar volume can be calculated using the Ideal Gas Law.

Temperature Conversion
In gas calculations, temperature must be expressed in Kelvin rather than Celsius. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is done by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature. For example, 25 °C is equivalent to 298.15 K. This conversion is crucial for accurately applying the Ideal Gas Law and obtaining correct results.
