Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

\(V_1\) = \(10dm^3\), \(V_2\) = ?, \(P_1\) = 4atm =  4 x 760 = 3040mmHg, \(P_2\) = 760mmHg \(T_1\) = 273ºc = 273 + 273 = 546K, \(T_2\) = 273K

Using the general gas law = \(\frac{P_1 V_1}{ T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}\)

\(V_2  = \frac{P_1 V_1 T_2}{P_2 T_1}\)

\(V_2 = \frac{ 3040 \times10 \times273}{760 \times546}\)

\(V_2 = 20dm^{-3}\)

1mole of a gas = \(22. 4dm^{3}\)

  x                     = \(20.0dm^{3}\)

= 0.89mol.
