What is the volume that 500 g of iodine will occupy under the conditions:
    Temp = 300oC and Pressure = 740 mm Hg?
Step 1)  Write down given information.
        mass =  500 g iodine Convert mass to gram;
         recall iodine is diatomic (I2)
         x mol I2 = 500 g I2(1mol I2 / 254 g I2)
   n = 1.9685 mol I2

   T = 300oC Temperature must be converted to Kelvin
         T = 300oC + 273
   T = 573 K
        P = 740 mm Hg Pressure needs to have same unit as R;
       therefore, convert pressure from mm Hg to atm.
       x atm = 740 mm Hg (1 atm / 760 mm Hg)
   P = 0.8 atm
        R = 0.0821 atm . L / mol . K
