Answer

$17.2m$

Work Step by Step

The length of each edge of the cube can be calculated as follows: Let the length of each edge be $a$ then $V=a^3$ $\implies a=V^{\frac{1}{3}}$ $\implies a=(\frac{mRT}{pM})^{\frac{1}{3}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $a=(\frac{10000(8.31)(273)}{100000(0.044)})^{\frac{1}{3}}$ This simplifies to: $a=17.2m$
