Answer:
V = 22.42 L/mol
N₂ and H₂ Same molar Volume at STP
Explanation:
Data Given:
molar volume of N₂ at STP = 22.42 L/mol
Calculation of molar volume of N₂ at STP = ?
Comparison of molar volume of H₂ and N₂ = ?
Solution:
Molar Volume of Gas:
The volume occupied by 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure and it is always equal to 22.42 L/ mol
Molar volume can be calculated by using ideal gas formula
PV = nRT
Rearrange the equation for Volume
V = nRT / P . . . . . . . . . (1)
where
P = pressure
V = Volume
T= Temperature
n = Number of moles
R = ideal gas constant
Standard values
P = 1 atm
T = 273 K
n = 1 mole
R = 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K
Now put the value in formula (1) to calculate volume for 1 mole of N₂
V = 1 x 273 K x 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K / 1 atm
V = 22.42 L/mol
Now if we look for the above calculation it will be the same for H₂ or any gas. so if we compare the molar volume of 1 mole N₂ and H₂ it will be the same at STP.
