Answer:
24.9 L Ar
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Moles
- STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K
<u>Aqueous Solutions</u>
- States of Matter
<u>Stoichiometry</u>
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[Given] 40.0 g Ar
[Solve] L Ar
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[PT] Molar Mass of Ar - 39.95 g/mol
[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
- [DA] Set up:
- [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>
24.9235 L Ar ≈ 24.9 L Ar
