Question

What Size container do you need to hold 0.0459 mol of N2 gas at stp

Answer 1

Hello!

You need to calculate the volume of the container. To calculate the volume of this amount of N₂ gas we need to make the assumption that N₂ behaves like an ideal gas. 

1 mole of an ideal gas under Standard Temperature and Pressure occupies 22,4 L so the calculations are as follows:

$0,0459 mol N_2* \frac{22,4 L}{1 mol N_2}= 1,028 L$

So, the volume of the container should be 1,028 L or more.

Have a nice day!
