Pyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion.

HC3H3O3(aq) ? C2H4O(aq) + CO2(g)

If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 20.3 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 343 mmHg and 30°C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample
