Question

A 10.0-gram sample of which element has the smallest volume at STP?

Answer 1

(4) zinc

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the sample = 10g

Condition = STP

Unknown:

Element with the least volume = ?

Solution:

The number of moles of substance as STP can be derived using the equation below;

    Volume of substance = number of moles x 22.4

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

   since mass = 10g

Number of moles of Al = $\frac{10}{27}$ = 0.37mole

Number of moles of Ti = $\frac{10}{47.9}$ = 0.29mole

number of moles of Mg = $\frac{10}{24}$ = 0.47mole

Number of moles of Zn = $\frac{10}{65.5}$ = 0.15mole

Zinc has the least number moles and it will have the lowest volume at STP because the volume directly proportional to number of moles.
